Abstract

Posttraumatic growth (PTG; positive change resulting from the struggle with trauma) was examined among children impacted by Hurricane Katrina. The revised Posttraumatic Growth Inventory for Children (PTGIโ€Cโ€R) assessed PTG at two time points, 12 (T1) and 22 months (T2) posthurricane. The PTGIโ€Cโ€R demonstrated good reliability. Analyses focused on traumaโ€related variables in predicting PTG. Childโ€reported subjective responses to the hurricane and posttraumatic stress symptoms (PTSS) correlated with PTG at T1; however, in the regression, only PTSS significantly explained variance in PTG. At followโ€up, T1 PTG was the only significant predictor of PTG. Findings suggest that the PTGIโ€Cโ€R may assist efforts to understand children's responses posttrauma.
