Post-traumatic stress disorder in a national sample of preadolescent children 9 to 10 years old: Prevalence, correlates, clinical sequelae, and treatment utilization

R. Y. Levin and R. T. Liu

This population-based study by Rachel Y. Levin and Richard T. Liu investigates the prevalence of PTSD in preadolescents in the US, revealing that 2.17% of children experience this condition. Factors like family economic insecurity and multiracial background increase PTSD odds, while a significant number of affected children go untreated, exposing critical gaps in support.

Abstract
This population-based study examines PTSD prevalence, correlates, clinical sequelae, and treatment in US preadolescents (9-10 years old) using data from the ABCD Study. Lifetime PTSD prevalence was 2.17%. Sexual minority status, multiracial background, unmarried parents, and family economic insecurity were associated with higher odds of PTSD. Separation anxiety was the strongest psychiatric correlate. Prior PTSD predicted new psychiatric disorders post-remission. A significant portion of children with lifetime PTSD did not receive treatment, highlighting unmet needs.
