Area of Science:

  • Psychiatry
  • Trauma Studies
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Validated methods for identifying individuals at risk of developing post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) are emerging.
  • This has created opportunities for implementing effective screening programs after traumatic events.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the utility and implementation of a PTSD screening program.
  • The program targeted victims of violent crime presenting to an emergency unit.

Main Methods:

  • 3,349 violent crime victims presenting to an emergency unit were invited to complete the Trauma Screening Questionnaire (TSQ) 2 weeks later.
  • Individuals scoring above a standard cut-off were offered a mental health assessment and subsequent treatment.

Main Results:

  • Out of 3,349 individuals contacted, 572 (17.1%) responded.
  • 338 (10.1%) screened positive, 26 (0.78%) attended assessment, and 9 (0.27%) received PTSD treatment.

Conclusions:

  • The implemented PTSD screening program demonstrated limited usefulness.
  • Further research is needed to determine optimal strategies for PTSD screening programs following violent crime and other traumatic incidents.
