How common are different types of trauma exposure?
Note: Reports and articles that use data from other years and/or other states may contain different estimates.

Any trends over time?
Exposure to violence increases the risk of developing other disorders such as PTSD, anxiety, behavioral issues, and developmental issues. Exposure can also impact academic performance and functioning. Exposure is also a major risk factor in developing depressive disorders later in life. It can increase sensitivity to stress and thus increase the risk of behavioral and somatic disorders. Other physical changes associated with exposure include increased inflammation and decreased cortical volume.
