To mark 15 years of the European Journal Psychotraumatology, editors reviewed past 15-year research on trauma exposure and its consequences, as well developments in (early) psychological, pharmacological complementary interventions. In all sections this paper, we provide perspectives sex/gender aspects, life course trends, cross-cultural/global systemic societal contexts. Globally, majority people experience stressful events that may be characterized traumatic. However, definitions what is traumatic are not necessarily straightforward or universal. Traumatic have a wide range transdiagnostic mental physical health limited to posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Research genetic, molecular, neurobiological influences show promise for further understanding underlying risk resilience trauma-related consequences. Symptom presentation, prevalence, course, response experiences, differ depending individuals' age developmental phase, sex/gender, sociocultural environmental contexts, socio-political forces. Early interventions potential prevent acute reactions from escalating PTSD diagnosis whether delivered golden hours weeks after trauma. prevention still scarce compared treatment where several evidence-based complementary/ integrative exist, novel forms delivery become available. Here, focus how best address negative outcomes following trauma, serve individuals across spectrum, including very young old, include considerations ethnicity, culture diverse beyond Western, Educated, Industrialized, Rich, Democratic (WEIRD) countries.

We investigated whether the impact of potentially traumatic events (PTEs) on trauma-related symptoms changes across transitional adult lifespan (i.e., 16-100 years old) and if this association differs for self-reported COVID-19-related PTEs compared to other PTEs. A web-based cross-sectional study was conducted among 7,034 participants from 88 countries between late April October 2020. Participants completed Global Psychotrauma Screen (GPS), a self-report questionnaire assessing symptoms. Data were analyzed using linear logistic regression analyses general models. found that older age associated with lower GPS total symptom scores, B = -0.02, p < .001; remained significant but substantially weaker PTEs, 0.02, .009. The results suggest an ratings GPS, indicating blunted presentation. This age-related trend smaller reflecting relatively higher COVID-19 pandemic adults.
