TLDR
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.Abstract:
Prevalence of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) defined according to the American Psychiatric Association's Diagnostic and Statistical Manual fifth edition (DSM-5; 2013) and fourth edition (DSM-IV; 1994) was compared in a national sample of U.S. adults (N = 2,953) recruited from an online panel. Exposure to traumatic events, PTSD symptoms, and functional impairment were assessed online using a highly structured, self-administered survey. Traumatic event exposure using DSM-5 criteria was high (89.7%), and exposure to multiple traumatic event types was the norm. PTSD caseness was determined using Same Event (i.e., all symptom criteria met to the same event type) and Composite Event (i.e., symptom criteria met to a combination of event types) definitions. Lifetime, past-12-month, and past 6-month PTSD prevalence using the Same Event definition for DSM-5 was 8.3%, 4.7%, and 3.8% respectively. All 6 DSM-5 prevalence estimates were slightly lower than their DSM-IV counterparts, although only 2 of these differences were statistically significant. DSM-5 PTSD prevalence was higher among women than among men, and prevalence increased with greater traumatic event exposure. Major reasons individuals met DSM-IV criteria, but not DSM-5 criteria were the exclusion of nonaccidental, nonviolent deaths from Criterion A, and the new requirement of at least 1 active avoidance symptom.read more

Racial Discrimination is Associated with Acute Posttraumatic Stress Symptoms and Predicts Future Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Symptom Severity in Trauma‐Exposed Black Adults in the United States
Claire M Bird,E. Kate Webb,Andrew T. Schramm,Lucas Torres,Christine L. Larson,Terri A. deRoon-Cassini +5 more
TL;DR: The authors investigated whether past racial discrimination was associated with acute posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSS) and discrimination prospectively contributed to the prediction of future PTSD symptoms, finding that experiences of racial discrimination added significant additional risk for PTSD symptom development following traumatic injury, R2 =.16, F(6, 106) = 3.25, p =.006.

Posttraumatic Stress Disorder in DSM‐5: New Criteria and Controversies
TL;DR: The fifth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders featured extensive changes to the posttraumatic stress disorder diagnosis, and a new debate involving a radically different conceptualization of PTSD proposed for International Classification of Diseases, 11th edition is introduced.

Gender Differences in Posttraumatic Stress Symptoms after a Terrorist Attack: A Network Approach
TL;DR: The present results find no indication that the gender difference in prevalence of PTSD can be explained by differences in associations between symptoms, and no significant gender differences in the networks of posttraumatic stress were found.

A Dynamic Model of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder for Military Personnel and Veterans
TL;DR: The model postulates that during wars, resiliency-related policies are the most effective for decreasing PTSD, and it takes a long time, on the order of 40 years, to mitigate the psychiatric consequences of a war.

TL;DR: Lifetime prevalence estimates are higher in recent cohorts than in earlier cohorts and have fairly stable intercohort differences across the life course that vary in substantively plausible ways among sociodemographic subgroups.

Prevalence, Severity, and Comorbidity of 12-Month DSM-IV Disorders in the National Comorbidity Survey Replication
TL;DR: Although mental disorders are widespread, serious cases are concentrated among a relatively small proportion of cases with high comorbidity, as shown in the recently completed US National Comorbidities Survey Replication.

Posttraumatic stress disorder in the National Comorbidity Survey.
TL;DR: Progress in estimating age-at-onset distributions, cohort effects, and the conditional probabilities of PTSD from different types of trauma will require future epidemiologic studies to assess PTSD for all lifetime traumas rather than for only a small number of retrospectively reported "most serious" traumAs.

TL;DR: The results suggest that peritraumatic psychological processes, not prior characteristics, are the strongest predictors of PTSD.
