这项研究调查了一些慢性的，紧张的条件和一些急性的，创伤性的事件，这些事件可能会使青少年处于特定类型的精神病理学的风险之中。91名有严重和重复犯罪史的青少年被评估为他们暴露于11种不同类型的创伤。受试者还使用评估家庭功能的措施进行测试，以及创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）症状的频率和强度。结果表明，24%的受试者符合完整的DSM III-R创伤后应激障碍标准。暴露于暴力和家庭功能障碍与PTSD发病率显著相关。这些研究结果表明，青少年罪犯可能是一个高风险群体，他们可能会受到多种类型的创伤，并出现与这种创伤有关的创伤后压力症状。这项研究提供了一个理论基础，为未来的跨创伤研究，无论是在青少年罪犯人口和它与其他确定的创伤群体之间。
This study examined some chronic, stressful conditions and some acute, traumatic events which may place youths at risk for specific types of psychopathology. Ninety one delinquent adolescents with histories of serious and repeated crimes were assessed for their exposure to 11 different types of trauma. The subjects were also tested using measures which assess family functioning, and frequency and intensity of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) symptoms. Results indicated that 24% of the subjects tested met full DSM III-R criteria for PTSD. Both exposure to violence and family dysfunction were significantly associated with PTSD symptomatology. These findings suggest that juvenile offenders may constitute a high risk group for exposure to multiple types of trauma and the development of post-traumatic stress symptoms related to such exposure. This study provides a rationale for future cross-trauma research both within the juvenile offender population and between it and other identified trauma groups.
