abstract="This study surveys the prevalence of exposed traumatic events and posttraumatic stress disorder among the high school students. A total of 735 students were selected by stratified cluster sampling. The self-report trauma checklists and Mississippi Scale were used. The most common traumatic experiences were &quot;witnessing or being in a bad car accident,&quot; &quot;getting some really bad news unexpectedly,&quot; and witnessing violence. The last 2 experiences were more common among girls. The rate of the subjects who scored more than the cutoff point in the Mississippi Scale was 27.2%. There is an extremely high rate of exposed trauma rate, and approximately one third of them have posttraumatic stress disorder symptoms.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
