abstract="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. <br><br>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 &quot;Hispanic&quot; were the only two significant variables left in the equation. Limitations of this study include its modest sample size.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
