We measured 16 types exposure three (endorsing violence, willingness share problems, symptom awareness) the HSCL-25 PCL-C capture individual CMD symptoms, using guided cutoff points and/or algorithms. then ran series logistic regression analyses examine relationships symptoms.Findings showed that increased predicted CMDs. Increased awareness endorsement violence anxiety-depression respectively. Willingness problems buffered depressive but did not predict comorbidity.These findings revealed high prevalence with differential effects on or disorders. This suggests need transdiagnostic approaches cut across Western diagnostic boundaries consider culturally responsive relevant items measures.
