TL;DR: DSM-5 PTSD prevalence was higher among women than among men, and prevalence increased with greater traumatic event exposure, although only 2 of these differences were statistically significant.

TL;DR: The data showed that abuse of the elderly is prevalent and addressing low social support with preventive interventions could have significant public health implications.

TL;DR: A national household probability sample of 4,023 adolescents aged 12 to 17 years was interviewed by telephone about substance use, victimization experiences, familial substanceuse, and posttraumatic reactions to identify risk factors for Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders--(4th ed.; American Psychiatric Association, 1994).

TL;DR: Findings support a vicious cycle relationship in which substance use increases risk of future assault and assault increasesrisk of subsequent substance use, for illicit drug use.

TL;DR: Data suggest a rapid resolution of most of the probable PTSD symptoms in the general population of New York City in the first 6 months after the attacks, suggesting the psychological consequences of a large-scale disaster in a densely populated urban area may extend beyond persons directly affected by the disaster to persons in thegeneral population.
