TY - JOUR PY - 2020// TI - Relationships between trauma symptoms and race-based traumatic stress JO - Traumatology A1 - Carter, Robert T. A1 - Kirkinis, Katherine A1 - Johnson, Veronica E. SP - 11 EP - 18 VL - 26 IS - 1 N2 - This study examined the relationships between symptoms of trauma and race-based traumatic stress to determine if and how reactions to negative race-based experiences are similar or different from symptoms associated with trauma. Participants were 421 community-based adult respondents. Canonical correlation analyses were used to examine patterns of relationships between race-based traumatic stress and trauma symptoms. Strong relationships were found between race-based traumatic stress and trauma symptoms as per the Trauma Symptom Checklist-40, indicating that race-based traumatic stress is significantly related to trauma reactions (e.g., dissociation, anxiety, depression, sexual problems, and sleep disturbance), especially in instances where individuals have endorsed negative race-based experiences as stressful.

FINDINGS provide support to the notion that race-based traumatic stress is highly related to trauma symptoms and traumatic reactions. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2020 APA, all rights reserved)
