Sex Moderates the Association between Childhood Trauma and PTSD in an International Sample.

An international sample (N = 123) completed the ACE Questionnaire, PTSD Checklist for DSM-5, SEES, and BMI measures. ACEs predicted PTSD symptoms more strongly in females (r = .42, p < .001) than males (r = .19, p = .08); interaction was significant (β = .31, p = .002).
