The sixth and final paper of her thesis emerged from @gtrauma.bsky.social. It showed, among other interesting results, that individuals identifying as non-binary were most and men were least likely to report exposure to sexual and physical violence. doi.org/10.1080/2000...

PTSD risk factors are more prevalent in women, but men are more vulnerable to them – this pattern also emerges from a meta-analytical perspective. doi.org/10.1037/abn0...

Her fourth paper is part of the ELSA study, investigating unintended pregnancies as a potential stressor. It emphasizes the relevance of sexual abuse and birth trauma as high-impact trauma that disproportionately affect women, and the impact of childhood maltreatment. doi.org/10.1037/tra0...

Her third paper, again with the AURORA team and supervised by Jennifer Stevens and Abigail Powers, Stephanie identifies risk factors for PTSD that men are more vulnerable to (e.g. pretrauma anxiety, acute dissociative symptoms) doi.org/10.1017/S003...

Her second paper is based on the AURORA study. Stephanie introduces a systematic framework of sex- and gender-related pathways to PTSD and identifies risk factors with increased prevalence/ severity in women (e.g. sexual assault, anxiety sensitivity). doi.org/10.1038/s442...

In her first paper, Stephanie systematically quantifies the sex and gender data gap in prospective studies on PTSD development. Although women have an increased PTSD risk from 1 month up to 5 years posttrauma, they are underrepresented in research doi.org/10.1037/abn0...

Late to the party, but couldn’t miss to congratulate @shaering.bsky.social on very successfully defending her PhD thesis and to shortly summarize her excellent work here. Stephanie’s thesis is a comprehensive overview of the sex and gender data gap in psychotraumatology, absolutely worth a read.

It builds on a comprehensive systematic review on sex-and gender-sensitive reporting and analysis. The meta-analysis clearly showed a sex/gender data gap: Only one third of participants included in prospective studies were women. osf.io/preprints/ps...

The study also includes analyses on sex-/gender-dependent vulnerability to common risk factors and sex-/gender-specific risk factors such as traumatic childbirth.
