Disability associated with exposure to traumatic events: results from a cross-sectional community survey in South Sudan.

Background: There is a general lack of knowledge regarding disability and especially factors that are associated with disability in low-income countries. We aimed to study the overall and gender-specific prevalence of disability, and the association between exposure to traumatic events and disability in a post-conflict setting.

Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional community based study of four Greater Bahr el Ghazal States, South Sudan (n = 1200).
