TL;DR: PTSD symptomology is a driving factor that influences, both directly and indirectly, experiences of homelessness posttreatment, and interventions may wish to incorporate trauma informed approaches for youth entering treatment as this may mitigate long-term experiences of Homelessness and return to substance use.

TL;DR: This initial exploratory examination of the PBSP scale's psychometric properties suggests that use of protective behavioral strategies used specifically during pregaming events may protect young people from heavy drinking and harms.

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors used a latent difference score modeling approach to examine proportional and dynamic change between insomnia, PTSD, and alcohol, and found that higher prior levels of both PTSD and alcohol use were associated with greater subsequent changes in insomnia symptoms.

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors used latent transition analysis to understand how heterogeneity in adverse experiences is related to transition into stress trajectory classes and explored how transition patterns related to PTSD symptomology, finding that combat trauma in combination with other types of adverse experiences, namely early childhood adversity and military sexual trauma, imposed a greater probability of transitioning into higher risk stress profiles.

TL;DR: In this paper , a longitudinal cohort of 1230 U.S. veterans surveyed from February 2020 through February 2021 was used to understand heterogeneity in perceived stress, using growth mixture modelling, over this time period, how COVID-specific factors such as negative reactions to the pandemic, loneliness, and employment disruptions influenced perceived stress trajectories, and how veterans vary across distal outcomes including posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), pain, depression, sleep problems, physical health, and alcohol use disorder.
