​​På CTP har specialestuderende Sara Mundy skrevet sit speciale om kønsforskelle i traumer, psykopatologi og behandlingsudbytte. Det er der kommet en spændende artikel ud af. Artiklen er netop blevet publiceret i Psychiatry Research.

De vigtigste fund er refereret nedenfor:

• Twice as many females reported exposure to family violence (p = .001) and sexual abuse (p = .004)

• Men were at least three times as likely to report exposure to torture (p <0.001), imprisonment (p < .001), and combat (p < .001).

• Women reported more depression (p = .001), anxiety (p = .008) and somatization (p = 0.001)

• Men were diagnosed significantly more with enduring personality change after catastrophic experience (p < .001).

• Our findings highlight sex differences in trauma exposure and symptomatology in trauma-affected refugees in host countries, that should be considered when developing mental health interventions for this underserved population.
