在美国成年女性（N = 4，008）样本中评估了过去6个月内犯罪和非犯罪平民创伤事件、终生创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）和PTSD的患病率。随机数字拨号电话的方法来确定研究参与者。由受过训练的女性访谈员进行结构化电话访谈，以评估特定犯罪或其他创伤事件史和创伤后应激障碍。一生中暴露于任何类型的创伤事件的比例为69%，而暴露于包括性或严重攻击或杀害近亲或朋友在内的犯罪的比例为36%。PTSD的总体样本患病率为12.3%的终身和4.6%，在过去6个月。犯罪受害者的PTSD发生率明显高于非犯罪受害者（25.8%对9.4%）。包括直接威胁生命或受伤的事件史是创伤后应激障碍的风险因素。研究结果与其他流行病学研究的数据进行了比较。结果进行了讨论，因为它们涉及到PTSD病因。
Prevalence of crime and noncrime civilian traumatic events, lifetime posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and PTSD in the past 6 months were assessed in a sample of U.S. adult women (N = 4,008). Random digit-dial telephone methods were used to identify study participants. Structured telephone interviews for assessment of specific crime or other traumatic event history and PTSD were conducted by trained female interviewers. Lifetime exposure to any type of traumatic event was 69%, whereas exposure to crimes that included sexual or aggravated assault or homicide of a close relative or friend occurred among 36%. Overall sample prevalence of PTSD was 12.3% lifetime and 4.6% within the past 6 months. The rate of PTSD was significantly higher among crime versus noncrime victims (25.8% vs. 9.4%). History of incidents that included direct threat to life or receipt of injury was a risk factor for PTSD. Findings are compared with data from other epidemiological studies. Results are discussed as they relate to PTSD etiology.
