Health disparities based on sociocultural factors such as gender, race and ethnicity, socioeconomic status, culture, and access to health care can potentially complicate the early diagnosis and effective management of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Research indicates that among those individuals affected by health disparities, there is a greater burden of illness and disability, higher morbidity and mortality rates, and increased behavioral risk factors. The purpose of this article is to highlight the sociocultural factors that affect the development of PTSD and to publicize health disparities in military combat veterans.
基于社会文化因素（如性别、种族和民族、社会经济地位、文化以及获得医疗保健的机会）产生的健康差异，可能会使创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）的早期诊断和有效管理变得复杂。研究表明，在受健康差异影响的人群中，疾病和残疾负担更重，发病率和死亡率更高，行为风险因素也更多。本文的目的是强调影响创伤后应激障碍发展的社会文化因素，并宣传军事作战退伍军人中的健康差异。
