| Abstract | More than 15 million children are eyewitnesses to intimate partner violence (IPV) each year. IPV is associated with higher levels of both externalizing and internalizing problems and places children at a greater risk of developing posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) than those who are not exposed. As previous studies have not included a range of ethno-racial groups in their samples of children exposed to IPV, using standardized measures, the present study examines posttraumatic stress symptoms and PTSD diagnoses in four different ethno-racial groups of children, ages 4–6, who witnessed IPV in the last 2 years. Data are derived from interviews with 144 mothers with children participating in a study of the efficacy of an IPV intervention program. Results show high levels of traumatic stress symptoms and PTSD diagnoses (45 %) among the total sample, with significant differences by sex and ethno-racial group. Biracial and Latina females had the highest rates of PTSD relative to other groups. Greater exposure to IPV predicted more extensive PTSD symptoms. |
