• Posttraumatic stress disorder in veterans and military personnel: epidemiology, screening, and case recognition. (2012, background): “Active duty military personnel and veterans are two highly vulnerable, at-risk groups for development of PTSD (Dohrenwend et al., 2006; Hoge, Auchterlonie, & Milliken, 2006; Hoge et al., 2004).”
• Diagnostic accuracy of brief PTSD screening instruments in military veterans. (2013, neutral): “1% for a current PTSD diagnosis (Dohrenwend et al., 2006).”
• Annual Research Review: Positive adjustment to adversity -Trajectories of minimal-impact resilience and emergent resilience (2012, neutral): “…that older people frequently die of a broken heart in bereavement, older bereaved adults tend to have better adjustment (Bonanno & Kaltman, 1999; Mancini et al., 2011) and to show lower rates of mortality than younger bereaved adults (Martikainen & Valkonen, 1996; M. Stroebe & W. Stroebe, 1993).”
• Posttraumatic symptoms and growth of Kosovar war refugees: The influence of hope and cognitive coping (2007, background): “%) among Vietnam War veterans during their lifetime (Dohrenwend et al., 2006).”
• Validating the primary care posttraumatic stress disorder screen and the posttraumatic stress disorder checklist with soldiers returning from combat. (2008, background): “Although screens can assess a range of mental health outcomes (Wright et al., in press), the assessment of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms is essential for military personnel given the high prevalence rates for PTSD following combat (e.g., Dohrenwend et al., 2006; Hoge et al., 2004).”
• Social bonds and posttraumatic stress disorder. (2008, background): “Importantly, a recent reanalysis of the NVVRS sample confirmed the reports of traumatic exposures using multiple independent historical records, indicating that the retrospective reports of trauma in this sample were highly accurate (Dohrenwend et al. 2006).”
• Trauma Exposure and Posttraumatic Stress Disorder in a National Sample of Adolescents (2013, result): “An additional potential assessment bias is that mood-congruent recall may have led distressed respondents to report more PTEs, although prospective evidence suggests that PTE reports are largely free of overreporting bias.(60) One pattern in the NCS-A that is consistent with the possibility of diffe”
• Resilience to loss and potential trauma. (2011, methodology): “In a careful reanalysis of the National Vietnam Veterans Readjustment data, a representative sample of 1,200 veterans, chronic PTSD was estimated at 9% but rose to 28% among veterans with the highest levels of combat exposure (Dohrenwend et al. 2006).”
• The Cycle of Violence: Understanding Individual Participation in Collective Violence (2015, background): “Surveys of combatants have long shown a positive correlation between combat exposure and later psychological distress, specifically mental health problems such as posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and depression (Dohrenwend et al., 2006).”
• Art Therapy for Combat-Related PTSD: Recommendations for Research and Practice (2006, background): “New research has revealed that 18.7% of the veterans of the U.S. war in Viet Nam developed war-related PTSD during their lifetimes and that 9.1% were still suffering from PTSD 11 to 12 years after the war (Dohrenwend et al., 2006).”
• Psychological treatments for adults with posttraumatic stress disorder: A systematic review and meta-analysis. (2016, background): “In 2000, the estimated lifetime prevalence of PTSD among adults in the United States was 6.8% and current (12-month) prevalence was 3.6% (Dohrenwend et al., 2006).”
