“…Numerous studies have assessed the incidence and prevalence of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD; American Psychiatric Association, 2000) after disasters (Neria, Nandi, & Galea, 2008), which is a disabling disorder related to high rates of comorbidity and suicidal ideation (Cougle, Resnick, & Kilpatrick, 2009). Yet, despite consistent findings that PTSD is unlikely to remit if persisting beyond 6 years (Green, Lindy, Grace, & Leonard, 1992;Hull, Alexander, & Klein, 2002;North, Oliver, & Pandya, 2012), the overwhelming majority of studies have been conducted within the first 2 years postdisaster (Norris, 2006). Further, extant studies of long-term PTSD concern events that entailed severe secondary and collateral stressors that may exacerbate or prolong the prevalence rates of PTSD (Arnberg, Eriksson, Hultman, & Lundin, 2011;Brewin, Andrews, & Valentine, 2000): For example, substantial loss of property or possessions (Green et al, 1992), prolonged anxiety and fear because of terrorist attacks (North, Pfefferbaum, Kawasaki, Lee, & Spitznagel, 2011), and unemployment (Bøe, Holgersen, & Holen, 2011;Hull et al 2002).…”
