“…A number of studies have looked for racial differences among combat veterans with PTSD on clinical symptom patterns by using standardized psychometric instruments (e.g., Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory–2; MMPI-2), psychiatric interviews, or retrospective chart review (Frueh, Brady, & de Arellano, 1998). Some authors reported broad differences in the manifestation of symptoms across general measures of psychopathology (Penk, Robinowitz, Dorsett, Bell, & Black, 1988), others found only small but circumscribed differences on measures of psychotic or dissociative symptomatology (e.g., Frueh et al, 2002; Frueh, Smith, & Libet, 1996), although most others have failed to find any significant racial differences across relevant variables (e.g., Keane & Wolfe, 1990; Frueh, Gold, de Arellano, & Brady, 1997; Monnier, Elhai, Frueh, Sauvageot, & Magruder, 2002; Trent, Rushlau, Munley, Bloem, & Driesenga, 2000).…”
