Abstract

Our purpose was to identify longitudinal associations between torture exposure, physical and mental health outcomes, and gender in a cohort of 143 war-affected Karen adults five years post resettlement. Results showed that participants who self-reported primary torture experiences had higher rates of certain mental and physical health diagnoses. We observed gender differences in health over time in the cohort. Findings have implications for how primary care and public health providers implement war trauma screening tools and timelines, targeted healthcare services, and community resources to promote health and prevent disease in populations that have trauma from torture or war.

性别、酷刑与健康之间的关系：五年回顾性队列分析。

我们的目的是在一个由 143 名受战争影响的卡伦族成年人组成的队列中，找出重新安置五年后酷刑经历、身心健康结果和性别之间的纵向联系。结果表明，自述有主要酷刑经历的参与者某些身心健康诊断率较高。我们观察到，随着时间的推移，该群体的健康状况存在性别差异。研究结果对初级保健和公共卫生服务提供者如何实施战争创伤筛查工具和时间表、有针对性的医疗保健服务和社区资源以促进因酷刑或战争而遭受创伤的人群的健康和预防疾病具有重要意义。
