✦ Synopsis

The relationship of traumatic events to DSM-III criteria symptoms for post-traumatic stress disorder was examined in a randomized community survey (N = 2,364) of Los Angeles residents. Multivariate analysis of covariance revealed that both demographic factors and the type of traumatic event influenced respondents' reports of reexperiencing, avoidance, and arousal symptoms afrer the event.
