- Abstract:
A recent study conducted by the University of Copenhagen in Denmark examined the prevalence and risk factors of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in school-age children. The study found that traumatic childhood events can contribute to the development of PTSD, which can have long-term effects on a child's daily functioning and mental health. The research analyzed data from a nationwide birth cohort study, including over 679,000 children born in Denmark between 1984 and 1994. Risk factors for PTSD included traumatic stress in the family, family disintegration, community violence, and individual vulnerabilities such as neurodevelopmental disorders like autism and ADHD. The study suggests that efforts to increase PTSD screening in children may lead to better management and support. [Extracted from the article]
