BackgroundOnly limited empirical data support the existence of delayed-onset post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).AimsTo expand our understanding of delayed-onset PTSD prevalence and phenomenology.MethodA cross-sectional, epidemiological design (n = 747) incorporating structured interviews to obtain relevant information for analyses in a multisite study of military veterans.ResultsA small percentage of veterans with identified current PTSD (8.3%, 7/84), current subthreshold PTSD (6.9%, 2/29), and lifetime PTSD only (5.4%, 2/37) met criteria for delayed onset with PTSD symptoms initiating more than 6 months after the index trauma. Altogether only 0.4% (3/747) of the entire sample had current PTSD with delayed-onset symptoms developing more than 1 year after trauma exposure, and no PTSD symptom onset was reported more than 6 years posttrauma.ConclusionsRetrospective reports of veterans reveal that delayed-onset PTSD (current, subthreshold or lifetime) is extremely rare 1 year post-trauma, and there was no evidence of PTSD symptom onset 6 or more years after trauma exposure.

Introduction: Considerable research has established a link between socioeconomic status (SES) and brain function. While studies have shown a link between poverty status and amygdala response to negative stimuli, a paucity of knowledge exists on whether neighborhood poverty is also independently associated with amygdala hyperactive response to negative stimuli. Purpose: Using functional brain imaging data, this study tested the association between neighborhood SES and the amygdala’s response to negative stimuli. Considering race as a sociological rather than a biological construct, we also explored racial heterogeneity in this association between non-Hispanic Black and non-Hispanic White youth. Methods: We borrowed the functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) data of the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) study. The sample was 2,490 nine to ten years old non-Hispanic Black and non-Hispanic White adolescents. The independent variable was neighborhood income which was treated as a continuous measure. The primary outcomes were the right and left amygdala response to negative face during an N-Back task. Age, sex, race, marital status, and family SES were the covariates. To analyze the data, we used linear regression models. Results: Low neighborhood income was independently associated with a higher level of amygdala response to negative face. Similar results were seen for the right and left amygdala. These effects were significant net of race, age, sex, marital status, and family SES. An association between low neighborhood SES and higher left but not right amygdala response to negative face could be observed for non-Hispanic Black youth. No association between neighborhood SES and left or right amygdala response to negative face could be observed for non-Hispanic White youth. Conclusions: For American youth, particularly non-Hispanic Black youth, living in a poor neighborhood predicts the left amygdala reaction to negative face. This result suggested that Black youth who live in poor neighborhoods are at a high risk of poor emotion regulation. This finding has implications for policy making to reduce inequalities in undesired behavioral and emotional outcomes. Policy solutions to health inequalities should address inequalities in neighborhood SES.

Symptom Scale

Zusammenfassung. Theoretischer Hintergrund: Bisherige Selbstbeurteilungsinstrumente zur Abbildung posttraumatischer Belastungsstörungen (PTSD) berücksichtigen häufig den Symptomschweregrad nicht; außerdem setzen sie voraus, daß das Trauma bekannt sein muß. Fragestellung: Wir untersuchten die psychometrischen Eigenschaften eines Screeningverfahrens, das unabhängig von einem bekannten Trauma auch die Symptomintensität erfaßt. Methode: Die Modified PTSD Symptom Scale (MPSS) wurde bei 103 stationär psychiatrischen Patienten eingesetzt, die auch mit einem standardisierten Interview (DIA-X) untersucht wurden. Ergebnisse: Die Werte für Cronbachs Alpha lagen zwischen .88 und .94. Die Übereinstimmung zwischen MPSS-Verdachts- und DIA-X-Diagnosen lag zwischen 65% und 82%. Die innere Konsistenz ähnelt denen anderer Verfahren. Schlußfolgerungen: Für den klinischen Kontext erweist sich die MPSS dadurch vorteilhaft, daß sie die PTSD-Symptomatologie unabhängig von einem bekannten Trauma in ihrer Häufigkeit und ihrem Schweregrad erfaßt.
