Prevalence of PTSD was higher among women than men for all lifetime and current PTSD definitions (see Table 4). Past-12-month Same Event DSM-IV and DSM-5 PTSD prevalence for women and men was compared to past-12-month DSM-IV PTSD-prevalence data reported by Kessler, Chiu, and colleagues (2005), which were 5.2% among women and 1.8% among men, respectively. Results indicated that prevalence of past-12-month DSM-IV PTSD in the present study was significantly higher (z = −5.36 and −7.18, ps < .001) for women and men, respectively.
