尽管男性囚犯的创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）发病率比一般人群中的男性高得多，但对男性囚犯PTSD的研究却很少。目前的研究解决创伤性事件之前，创伤后应激障碍和精神障碍是共病的创伤后应激障碍的囚犯样本。看到某人严重受伤或死亡，被性虐待和被身体攻击是PTSD最常见的三种先行创伤。在被诊断为创伤后应激障碍的囚犯中，情绪障碍、焦虑症和反社会人格障碍的终生患病率和当前患病率都有所升高。213名囚犯参加了这项研究。69名参与者（33%）符合DSM-III-R的PTSD标准，45名（21%）符合当前标准。研究结果与一般人群样本进行了比较，并讨论了研究结果的影响。
Despite substantially higher rates of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) among male inmates than among men in the general population, there is a dearth of research on PTSD among incarcerated men. The current study addresses traumatic events that precede PTSD and psychiatric disorders that are comorbid with PTSD in an inmate sample. Seeing someone seriously injured or killed, being sexually abused, and being physically assaulted were the three most commonly reported antecedent traumas to PTSD. Lifetime and current rates of mood disorders, anxiety disorders, and antisocial personality disorder were elevated among inmates with a diagnosis of PTSD. Two hundred and thirteen inmates participated in the study. Sixty-nine participants (33%) met findings DSM-III-R criteria for PTSD, and 45 (21%) met current criteria. The findings are compared with general population samples, and implications of the findings are discussed.
