Latent Classes of Adolescent Trauma Exposure, Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Symptoms, and Substance Use Predict Clinical Diagnoses at 12-Month Follow-Up
These results highlight nuanced patterns of co-occurrences between trauma exposure, PTSD symptomatology, and substance use that differentiate unique sub-groups of youth at varying degrees of risk for negative clinical outcomes one year later. Evaluating the co-expression of trauma and psychopathology inventories, as opposed to only assessing the summative epidemiological indices of these constructs, may help identify adolescents who are most at risk for sustaining deleterious health outcomes.
