The current study aimed to identify the correlates of post-traumatic stress among a sample of women on probation and parole with a history of victimization. Community-based sampling was used to recruit 406 women on probation and parole in Jefferson County, Kentucky. The post-traumatic stress diagnostic scale was used to measure three indicators of post-traumatic stress: post-traumatic stress disorder diagnosis, symptom severity, and the number of life domains impacted by symptoms. Shaped by the comprehensive health seeking and coping paradigm, logistic and ordinary least squares regression analyses were used to examine the relationships between sociodemographic factors, criminal justice involvement, cumulative victimization, substance use, social support, material loss, homelessness, and post-traumatic stress. Models identifying correlates of post-traumatic stress accounted for between 18.6% and 26% of the variance and point to critical opportunities for intervention surrounding the dynamic factors of recent intimate partner violence and material loss. Targeting these important factors during community supervision is anticipated to decrease post-traumatic stress and increase the likelihood of success under criminal justice system supervision.

目前的研究旨在确定具有受害史的缓刑和假释妇女样本中创伤后压力的相关性。在肯塔基州杰斐逊县，基于社区的抽样被用于招募 406 名缓刑和假释的女性。创伤后压力诊断量表用于衡量创伤后压力的三个指标：创伤后应激障碍诊断、症状严重程度和受症状影响的生活领域的数量。在综合健康寻求和应对范式的塑造下，使用逻辑和普通最小二乘回归分析来检查社会人口因素、刑事司法参与、累积受害、物质使用、社会支持、物质损失、无家可归和创伤后压力之间的关系. 识别创伤后压力相关因素的模型占方差的 18.6% 至 26%，并指出围绕近期亲密伴侣暴力和物质损失的动态因素进行干预的关键机会。在社区监督期间针对这些重要因素预计将减少创伤后压力并增加在刑事司法系统监督下成功的可能性。
