“…The occurrence and the nature of traumatic experiences were measured using items from the Posttraumatic Inventory (PTI; Carlson & Rosser-Hogan, 1994;Meinhardt, Tom, Tse, & Yu, 1986), incorporating adaptations where these proved necessary. According to Carlson and Rosser-Hogan (1994), the original list was well tested and is useful for investigating traumatic experiences among refugees.…”

The mental health status of a general population sample of Cambodian refugees living in the United States was assessed ten years after they had left their homes in Cambodia. Subjects were found to be experiencing extremely high levels of post-traumatic stress disorder, dissociation, depression, and anxiety. Ninety percent of these refugees exhibited marked symptomatology in one or more of these categories.

Despite a growing literature of cross-cultural research on mental illness, little is known about the universality of most psychiatric disorders. This study was designed to determine whether people from a very different culture have the same symptoms in response to traumatic experiences as do trauma survivors in the United States. We were also interested to find out if the severity of the current symptoms is related to the amount of trauma experienced. Furthermore, we gathered information about the perceived severity of traumatic experiences among refugees. Fifty Cambodian refugees living in the U.S. were asked about their traumatic experiences and their current symptoms of posttraumatic stress, dissociation, depression, and anxiety. High levels of all symptoms were found along with statistically significant relationships between each symptom measure and the amount of trauma experienced. We conclude that the basic symptom picture in this group was similar to that observed in U.S. trauma survivors.
