The World Health Organization has investigated the traumatic events (TEs) most likely to result in PTSD development by surveying 47,466 individuals who have suffered from PTSD in 24 different countries. It was found that the TEs most likely to result in PTSD development were sexual-relationship violence (32.9% of individuals surveyed), followed by network traumatic experiences (29.7% of individuals), especially the unexpected death of a loved one. Other exposures commonly leading to PTSD were exposure to organized violence (2.8% of respondents), participated in organized violence (11.2% of respondents), interpersonal violence (11.5% of respondents), and other life-threatening TEs (12.0% of respondents).

As of 2017, the World Health Organization has stated that the cross-national lifetime prevalence of PTSD was 3.9%, based on a survey of 71, 083 respondents from 26 population surveys, 5.6% of whom had been exposed to trauma. The primary factor involved in treatment-seeking behaviour, which can help to mitigate PTSD development after trauma was income, while being younger, female, and having less social status (less education, lower individual income, and being unemployed) were all factors associated with less treatment-seeking behaviour.

Thanks for your improvements. I have a a few notes:

1. The first reference you used is actually a primary research study looking at the the data from the WHO study. I added in a citation needed tag for you to find the WHO study. For the second part of your paragraph, can you find a secondary source that shares this info? Ideally would be a systematic review that takes into account other exploratory studies. If you have any questions, I am happy to help.

2. Ref # 2 is also primary.

3. You can re-use the same citation using the DOI/PMID tool by clicking “re-use” where you paste in your PMID in the tool and finding your reference (or searching for it)

4. Citations go immediately after the punctuation like this.1 JenOttawa (talk) 10:55, 6 November 2018 (UTC)
