We tested the hypothesis with a sample of community mental health clients (N = 132) that Hispanic clients would report significantly greater post-traumatic stress symptoms than African-American or white clients when controlling for gender, psychiatric symptoms of SMI, and subjective distress from six of the most commonly reported trauma in the SMI literature. Results supported our main hypothesis: being self-identified as Hispanic was significantly associated with greater post-traumatic stress symptoms. Subjective distress from having been sexually abused along with being "Hispanic" were the only two significant variables left in the equation. Limitations of this study include its modest sample size.
我们以社区心理健康服务对象样本（N = 132）检验了这一假设：在控制性别、严重精神疾病的精神症状以及严重精神疾病文献中最常报告的六种创伤所带来的主观痛苦的情况下，西班牙裔服务对象报告的创伤后应激症状会显著多于非裔美国或白人服务对象。结果支持了我们的主要假设：自我认定为西班牙裔与更严重的创伤后应激症状显著相关。遭受性虐待以及身为“西班牙裔”所带来的主观痛苦是该等式中仅存的两个显著变量。本研究的局限性包括样本量较小。
