“…Some of the other variables that correlate with prevalence rates of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) are age (highest rates in adolescence and young adulthood) and ethnicity. Although PTSD is most commonly associated with the PTE exposure, other symptoms of other disorders might occur as a result of traumatic exposure: depression (Maercker, Neimeyer, & Simiola, ), problematic substance use (Najavits, Hyman, Ruglass, Hien, & Read, ), abd suicidal ideation (i.e., LeBouthillier, McMillan, Thibodeau, & Asmundson, ); PTE experiences are also associated with lower levels of psychological well‐being (i.e., Park, Wachen, Kaiser, & Stellman, ).
