Associations between lifetime potentially traumatic events and chronic physical conditions in the South African Stress and Health Survey: a cross-sectional study
(BioMed Central, 2016)Background: This study examined the association between the type, and cumulative number of lifetime potentially traumatic events (PTEs), and chronic physical conditions, in a South African sample. PTE exposures have been ... -
Associations Between Traumatic Events and Suicidal Behavior in South Africa
(Ovid Technologies (Wolters Kluwer Health), 2011)Research conducted predominantly in the developed world suggests that there is an association between trauma exposure and suicidal behaviour. However, there are limited data available investigating whether specific traumas ... -
