selection of the risk factors to include in subsequent assessments and to optimal weighting of these measures to assess risk of post-disaster psychopathology. We were unable to use these methods in the WMH analysis because of our small sample size. Given the growing literature documenting the value of interventions in the immediate aftermath of trauma (Forneris et al. 2013; Kliem & Kroger, 2013; Amos et al. 2014; Bisson, 2014), the development of such an optimal prediction model could be of great practical value.
