“…However, much of the research has not differentiated between childhood and adulthood experiences of trauma. Previous research has also focused on mental health outcomes with results suggesting a small to moderate effect of these traumas on psychological symptoms (Breslau et al 1998;Creamer et al 2001;Edwards et al 2003;Kessler et al 1995;Norris et al 2003). There is a dearth of research on the effects of these traumatic experiences on physical health outcomes.…”

“…Large community-based studies have shown that most of the population reports exposure to PTEs during their lifetime [7][8][9], and that PTSD is a highly prevalent disorder [10,7] and lifetime rape [7,11,12] is the most likely PTE to be associated with PTSD. In these studies, PTSD was assessed, regardless of whether the PTSD-related trauma was the first PTE experienced or a subsequent PTE.…”

This study compared the prevalence rates of various psychiatric disorders in persons with first onset of a potentially traumatic event (PTE) in childhood, persons with first onset of a PTE in adulthood, and those with no history of a PTE in a representative sample of Chileans. The Diagnostic of Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Revised Third Edition (DSM-III-R), posttraumatic stress disorder, and antisocial personality disorder modules from the Diagnostic Interview Schedule and modules for a range of DSM-III-R diagnoses from the Composite International Diagnostic Interview were administered to 2390 Chileans. The study found that exposure to a lifetime PTE was associated with a higher probability of psychiatric morbidity than no PTE exposure. A PTE with childhood onset relative to adult onset was related to lifetime panic disorder, independent of the number of lifetime and demographic differences between the 2 groups. Childhood interpersonal trauma compared with interpersonal trauma in adulthood was significantly associated with lifetime panic disorder, agoraphobia, and posttraumatic stress disorder. Our findings suggest that specific disorders are linked to interpersonal trauma and PTEs that occur in childhood rather than later in life.

“…A post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) section was included in the latest version of the CIDI 7,8 , and has since been widely used in epidemiological studies 9,10,11,12 . A number of studies have been conducted to assess the ability of the CIDI to diagnose PTSD accurately, using either ICD-10 or DSM-IV criteria 13,14,15 however results are conflicting due to the divergent criteria of these classification systems (Table 1).…”

The objective was to study the accuracy of the post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) section of the Composite International Diagnostic Interview (CIDI 2.1) DSM-IV diagnosis, using the Structured Clinical Interview (SCID) as gold standard, and compare the ICD-10 and DSM IV classifications for PTSD. The CIDI was applied by trained lay interviewers and the SCID by a psychologist. The subjects were selected from a community and an outpatient program. A total of 67 subjects completed both assessments. Kappa coefficients for the ICD-10 and the DSM IV compared to the SCID diagnosis were 0.67 and 0.46 respectively. Validity for the DSM IV diagnosis was: sensitivity (51.5%), specificity (94.1%), positive predictive value (9.5%), negative predictive value (66.7%), misclassification rate (26.9%). The CIDI 2.1 demonstrated low validity coefficients for the diagnosis of PTSD using DSM IV criteria when compared to the SCID. The main source of discordance in this study was found to be the high probability of false-negative cases with regards to distress and impairment as well as to avoidance symptoms.
