Abstract   This study investigated the interrelationships among trauma exposure, PTSD, and Mental Health Problems in a sample of 289 adolescents (199 male, 90 female) detained in a juvenile correctional facility. Mean differences were found in that females scored higher than males on measures of interpersonal trauma exposure and symptoms of both simple and complex PTSD. Females also endorsed more Mental Health Problems in the areas of depression/anxiety, somatic complaints, and suicidal ideation. For all youth, trauma exposure, PTSD, and Mental Health Problems were correlated. Results of structural equation modeling were consistent with the hypothesis that PTSD mediates the relationship between interpersonal trauma and Mental Health Problems for all youth, although the results were stronger for females.

clipped by: Kelika clipper's remarks: "Huynh said Vietnamese Americans are wary of seeking help for Mental Problems because it is seen as taboo and is rarely spoken about. "It's a struggle," she said. "Seeking help is more of a last resort. They don't do it until they feel so helpless that they don't know where else to go."" Clip Source: www.latimes.com Vietnamese Americans who came to the United States as political refugees are suffering from higher rates of Mental Health Problems than non-Latino whites, an indication that many Vietnamese Americans are experiencing lingering effects from the Vietnam War, according to a UC Irvine Center for Health Care Policy study. In the first analysis of its kind for Vietnamese Americans in California, researchers found that Vietnamese Americans over 55 were twice as likely as whites to report needing Mental Health care, but were less likely to discuss such issues with their doctors. In general, Vietnamese Americans have assimilated quickly in the United States and have achieved success in business, education and politics. The study offers a contrasting view of the tough adjustments refugees have endured. Many Vietnamese American refugees are suffering from Problems related to traumatic experiences fleeing the Communist government after the 1975 fall of Saigon Tags: Mental Health , vietnam ...

“Our results add to the growing body of evidence that disaster survivors continue to suffer from poor Mental and physical Health for prolonged periods of time after the initial impact” says lead researcher Professor Son Chae Kim. “The Health problem rates we recorded were considerably higher than those reported by Louisiana residents to the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) in 2003. The BRFSS is the world’s largest, on-going telephone Health survey system and has been tracking Health conditions and risk behaviors in the United States every year since 1984.” Key findings of the survey include: 52 per cent of the respondents reported a day or more of poor Mental Health in the past month, with 18 per cent reporting daily Mental Health Problems. These figures were two to three times higher than the pre-Katrina levels recorded in 2003 among Louisiana residents. Then, 26 per cent reported a day or more of Mental Health, with six per cent reporting daily Mental Health Problems. The Mental Health Problems appear to be worse than those reported five to 15 months after the September 11 terrorist attacks, in which 33 per cent of survivors reported having a day or more of poor Mental Health. People were more likely to suffer from poor Mental Health if they were female or had experienced poor physical Health in the past month. Respondents diagnosed with depression before the incident were 19 times more likely to experience poor men ...
