1992 年洛杉矶 (L.A.) 内乱对心理社会功能的影响作为调查洛杉矶县居民观点和态度的大型项目的一部分进行了评估。随机数字拨号方法确定了洛杉矶县 1,200 名成年人（18 岁或以上）的家庭概率样本。受访者在骚乱发生后 6 至 8 个月完成了电话采访。评估了受访者遭受干扰的程度、干扰对心理健康的影响以及慢性与急性接触暴力对心理健康的影响。与假设一致，骚乱对中南部社区的影响最为严重。在报告与精神障碍相关的经历的受访者中，创伤后应激障碍（PTSD；诊断水平和亚临床症状）的发生率较高。在控制人口统计、一生创伤和其他类型的压力事件后，暴露于急性事件（即干扰）可以预测当前的 PTSD 症状。
The impact of the 1992 Los Angeles (L.A.) civil disturbances on psychosocial functioning was assessed as part of a larger project investigating the views and attitudes of residents in L.A. County. Random digit dialing methodology identified a household probability sample of 1,200 adults (age 18 or older) from L.A. County. Respondents completed a telephone interview 6 to 8 months after the disturbances. Respondents' degree of exposure to the disturbances, mental health impact of the disturbances, and mental health effects of chronic versus acute exposure to violence were assessed. Consistent with hypotheses, the impact of the disturbances was the worst in the South Central communities. Higher rates of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD; both diagnostic level and subclinical symptomatology) were found among respondents who reported disturbance-related experiences. Exposure to an acute event (i.e., the disturbances) was predictive of current PTSD symptomatology after controlling for demographics, lifetime trauma, and other types of stressful events.
