“…Participants were asked to indicate how old they were when each endorsed stressful event started and how old they were when it ended. The LSC‐R has been validated for use with Spanish‐speaking women (Humphreys et al., 2011) and perinatal populations (Bosquet Enlow et al., 2017). In this study, a childhood trauma exposure score was calculated by summing the number of trauma types that occurred when the participant was less than 18 years of age, and an adulthood trauma exposure score was calculated by summing the number of trauma types that occurred when the participant was 18 or older.…”

Trauma exposure is strongly linked to maternal posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and depressive symptoms during the perinatal period; however, childhood trauma exposure is often assessed without accounting for adult exposure. This study tested the unique impacts of childhood and adulthood trauma exposure on PTSD and depressive symptoms among pregnant women (N = 107, 82.9% Latina) enrolled in a nonrandomized intervention study. Regression analyses at baseline showed positive associations between trauma exposure and PTSD symptoms irrespective of trauma timing, childhood: B = 1.62, t(91) = 2.11, p = .038; adulthood: B = 2.92, t(91) = 3.04, p = .003. However only adulthood trauma exposure, B = 1.28, t(94) = 2.94, p = .004, was positively associated with depressive symptoms. Mixed‐effects analyses of variance revealed interaction effects of time and adulthood trauma exposure, indicating that women with high degrees of adulthood trauma exposure had higher baseline levels of PTSD, F(1, 76.4) = 6.45, p = .013, and depressive symptoms, F(1, 87.2) = 4.88, p = .030, but showed a more precipitous decrease posttreatment than women with lower levels of adulthood trauma exposure. These findings support the clinical relevance of assessing both childhood and adulthood trauma exposure during the perinatal period given their impacts on baseline symptoms and psychotherapy response.

“…The content validity of the LSC‐R was established through a review of literature (Wolfe et al., ), and test‐retest reliability ranging from 0.52 to 0.95 was established for each item, exceeding acceptability criteria ( k ≥ 0.40; McHugo et al., ). The LSC‐R was translated into Spanish and Mandarin using forward and backward translation by bilingual nurse researchers in Colombia and Hong Kong who were knowledgeable about the instrument and cultural variations in language; this process has been described in detail by Humphreys and colleagues ().…”

“…The Life Stressor Checklist is a self-reported measure used to assess traumatic or stressful life events that is applied in different clinical and research settings 19,20 and has been previously used in studies on Latin American populations. 21,22 This checklist assesses 30 highly stressful life events, including 12 violence-related items (Table S1), and other events such as natural disasters and the death of a relative. Respondents are asked to provide additional information on the age when the event began and ended, depending on the item.…”

BackgroundViolence against women has become a global public health threat. Data on the potential impact of exposure to violence on cardiovascular disease are scarce.Methods and ResultsWe evaluated the association between exposure to violence and subclinical cardiovascular disease in 634 disease‐free women from the Mexican Teachers' Cohort who responded to violence‐related items from the Life Stressor Checklist and underwent measures of carotid artery intima‐media thickness in 2012 and 2013. We defined exposure to violence as having ever been exposed to physical and/or sexual violence. Intima‐media thickness was log‐transformed, and subclinical carotid atherosclerosis was defined as intima‐media thickness ≥0.8 mm or plaque. We used multivariable linear and logistic regression models adjusted for several potential confounders. Mean age was 48.9±4.3 years. Close to 40% of women reported past exposure to violence. The lifetime prevalence of sexual violence was 7.1%, and prevalence of physical violence was 23.5% (7.7% reported both sexual and physical violence). Relative to women with no history of violence, exposure to violence was associated with higher intima‐media thickness (adjusted mean percentage difference=2.4%; 95% confidence interval 0.5, 4.3) and subclinical atherosclerosis (adjusted odds ratio=1.60; 95% confidence interval 1.10, 2.32). The association was stronger for exposure to physical violence, especially by mugging or physical assault by a stranger (adjusted mean % difference=4.6%; 95% confidence interval 1.8, 7.5, and odds ratio of subclinical carotid atherosclerosis=2.06; 95% confidence interval 1.22, 3.49).ConclusionsExposure to violence, and in particular assault by a stranger, was strongly associated with subclinical cardiovascular disease in Mexican middle‐aged women.
