When an earthquake hits a war-affected population: longitudinal growth trajectories of psychopathology in individuals in northwest Syria

Although latent class growth analyses indicated prevailing recovery trajectories, prevalence remained alarmingly high across time. RNT emerged as a potential transdiagnostic factor across disorders. Research and interventions should prioritise northwest Syrians' unprecedented mental health needs.
