DOI: 10.1080/20008198.2017.1344079
Abstract: ABSTRACT Background: The likelihood of developing Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) depends on the interaction of individual risk factors and cumulative traumatic experiences. Hence, the identification of individual susceptibility factors warrants precise quantification of trauma exposure.… read more here.
