目的
研究青少年作为受害者或证人暴露于各种类型暴力的程度，以及这种暴露与创伤症状的关联;具体而言，暴露于暴力将与抑郁，愤怒，焦虑，解离，创伤后应激和总创伤症状有积极和显著关联的假设。
设计和设置
这项研究采用了一项调查设计，在1992-1993学年期间，对六所公立高中的学生（9至12年级）进行匿名自我报告问卷调查。
参与者
68%的学生参加了调查期间参加的学校参加了研究（N = 3735）。年龄范围为14至19岁; 52%为女性; 35%为非洲裔美国人，33%为白色，23%为西班牙裔。
结果
所有假设均得到支持。总样本的多元回归分析显示，暴力暴露变量（以及较小程度上的人口统计学变量）解释了所有创伤症状评分的显著差异，包括抑郁（R2 = .31），愤怒（R2 = .30），解离（R2 = .23），创伤后应激（R2 = .31）和总创伤（R2 = .37）。
结论
一个显着的和一致的协会被证明链接暴力暴露创伤症状内的高中生的不同样本。我们的研究结果证明，有必要确定和提供创伤相关的服务，为青少年谁已经暴露于暴力。
OBJECTIVE
To examine the extent to which adolescents are exposed to various types of violence as either victims or witnesses, and the association of such exposure with trauma symptoms; specifically, the hypotheses that exposure to violence will have a positive and significant association with depression, anger, anxiety, dissociation, posttraumatic stress, and total trauma symptoms.
DESIGN AND SETTING
The study employed a survey design using an anonymous self-report questionnaire administered to students (grades 9 through 12) in six public high schools during the 1992-1993 school year.
PARTICIPANTS
Sixty-eight percent of the students attending the participating schools during the survey participated in the study (N = 3735). Ages ranged from 14 to 19 years; 52% were female; and 35% were African American, 33% white, and 23% Hispanic.
RESULTS
All hypotheses were supported. Multiple regression analyses of the total sample revealed that violence exposure variables (and to a lesser extent, demographic variables) explained a significant portion of variance in all trauma symptom scores, including depression (R2 = .31), anger (R2 = .30), dissociation (R2 = .23), posttraumatic stress (R2 = .31), and total trauma (R2 = .37).
CONCLUSIONS
A significant and consistent association was demonstrated linking violence exposure to trauma symptoms within a diverse sample of high school students. Our findings give evidence of the need to identify and provide trauma-related services for adolescents who have been exposed to violence.
