本研究采用了来自两个国会授权的努力（美国印第安人越战退伍军人项目和国家越战退伍军人重新调整研究）的数据，以检查5个种族定义的男性越战退伍军人样本中创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）的差异患病率。外行访谈评估了1,798名男性越战老兵在战前、战时和战后的个人经历。使用SCID对子样本（N = 487）进行临床再访。1个月和终身PTSD的患病率高于2个美洲印第安人样本比白人。一旦逻辑回归控制了战区压力的差异暴露，种族不再是PTSD的重要预测因素。
This study employed data from two Congressionally mandated efforts (the American Indian Vietnam Veterans Project and the National Vietnam Veterans Readjustment Study) to examine differential prevalence of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) among 5 ethnically defined samples of male Vietnam theater veterans. Lay interviews assessed individual experiences before, during, and after the war from 1,798 male Vietnam theater veterans. Clinical reinterviews using the SCID were conducted with subsamples (N = 487). The prevalence of both 1-month and lifetime PTSD was higher for the 2 American Indian samples than for Whites. Once logistic regressions controlled for differential exposure to war-zone stress, ethnicity was no longer a significant predictor of PTSD.
