Using propensity score methods, matched (alcohol and/or using DSM-IV criteria) those at baseline demographic, familial, clinical factors estimate development exposure. Data were adjusted complex survey methods.Results: Individuals had an being exposed traumas between wave II (60.6% vs. 48.3% controls). Among two (N = 14,107), no subsequent matching controlling covariates (OR: 1.00; 95%CI: 0.72–1.39; p .99). However, only did have 1.76; 1.05–2.95; .03).Conclusion: In experience increases PTSD.
