Note:
Posttraumatic stress disorder;
During the trauma assessment prior to immigration-specific trauma module, youth were asked if any event they endorsed occurred during immigration;
This represents the traumatic events that were only reported during the immigration-specific module, but belonged to a category that was assessed during the standard assessment;
This represents the number of youth who reported that the immigration process was traumatic, but had not endorsed a traumatic event during immigration that could be otherwise classified (e.g., witnessing violence)
