Prevalence and predictors of <scp>PTSD</scp> and depression among adolescent victims of the Spring 2011 tornado outbreak

Abstract

However, most adolescents were resilient following tornado exposure, roughly 1 in 15 developed PTSD, 1 in 13 developed MDE, and many more endorsed subclinical mental health problems. Information regarding specific risk factors can guide early screening, prevention, and intervention efforts in disaster-affected communities.
