This study investigated the interrelationships among trauma exposure, PTSD, and mental health problems in a sample of 289 adolescents (199 male, 90 female) detained in a juvenile correctional facility. Mean differences were found in that females scored higher than males on measures of interpersonal trauma exposure and symptoms of both simple and complex PTSD. Females also endorsed more mental health problems in the areas of depression/anxiety, somatic complaints, and suicidal ideation. For all youth, trauma exposure, PTSD, and mental health problems were correlated. Results of structural equation modeling were consistent with the hypothesis that PTSD mediates the relationship between interpersonal trauma and mental health problems for all youth, although the results were stronger for females.
本研究调查了289名被关押在青少年教养机构中的青少年（199名男性，90名女性）样本中创伤暴露、创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）和心理健康问题之间的相互关系。研究发现，在人际创伤暴露以及单纯型和复合型PTSD症状的测量方面，女性得分高于男性，存在均值差异。女性在抑郁/焦虑、躯体不适和自杀意念等心理健康问题方面也有更多表现。对于所有青少年而言，创伤暴露、PTSD和心理健康问题之间存在关联。结构方程模型的结果与以下假设一致：PTSD介导了所有青少年人际创伤与心理健康问题之间的关系，尽管该结果在女性中表现得更为显著。
