    Author: Wang Y, Nomura Y, Pat-Horenczyk R, Doppelt O, Abramovitz R, Brom D, Chemtob C.
    Journal: Ann N Y Acad Sci; 2006 Dec; 1094():363-8. PubMed ID: 17347378.
    Abstract:
    This study examined the differential impact of various types of trauma exposure on emotional and behavioral problems in preschool children. Participants were 95 mothers of 1- to 4-year-old children in Israel. Results suggested a differential pattern of associations between the types of trauma exposure (i.e., direct exposure to terrorism, media exposure to terrorism, and other trauma) and children's internalizing and externalizing problems. This line of research is important for the identification of risk factors and the development of effective prevention and intervention strategies to promote resilience in preschool children exposed to specific type(s) of trauma.
