  • Title: Trauma and cumulative adversity in women of a disadvantaged social location.
    Author: Kubiak SP.
    Journal: Am J Orthopsychiatry; 2005 Oct; 75(4):451-65. PubMed ID: 16262505.
    Abstract:
    This study expands conceptual and empirical perspectives on stress exposure by evaluating cumulative exposure in 79 drug-convicted women. Logistic regression determined that (a) posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) increased 40% with each trauma and (b) adding chronic stressors increased the predictability of PTSD. This study supports cumulative adversity models and the importance of social location.
