Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how different coping styles affect the likelihood of developing PTSD among individuals exposed to stressful disaster events, particularly federal disaster responders.
- Data was collected through a web-based survey that included PTSD assessments and coping style questionnaires, with logistic regression models used to analyze the relationships.
- Findings revealed that avoidant coping was most strongly associated with probable PTSD, while emotion-based coping also contributed to this outcome, highlighting the need for targeted mental health strategies and future research in this area.
