The contribution of childhood adversity and potentially traumatic events during military service to PTSD and complex PTSD symptoms among Israeli women veterans.

Published in: Psychological trauma : theory, research, practice and policy (2023)

This study emphasized the relatively high exposure to PTEs and PTSD symptoms of women combat veterans as compared to noncombat veterans. Our findings also confirm prior studies demonstrating associations between ACEs, CES, MST, and mental health problems. Importantly, we demonstrated the unique contribution of betrayal-based PMIEs and the differential associations of PTEs with PTSD and CPTSD symptoms among combat veterans.
