Abstract
Our study explored the associations between COVID-related stress and fear and PTSD symptom severity. Our results indicated that greater PTSD symptom severity was associated with greater COVID fear, but not COVID stress. Furthermore, the intrusive thoughts symptom cluster for PTSD was the only cluster associated with COVID fear.
