The bombing of the Israeli civilian population during the Persian Gulf War offered a unique and important research opportunity to study effects of a life-threatening experience on a sample of Israel-born adults on whom we have detailed pre-war baseline data. These pre-war data were collected in a case/control study of life events and other possible risk factors for psychiatric disorders, especially schizophrenia, major depression, antisocial personality and substance use, including alcoholism. Under a small grant from the NIMH RAPID program, we took the first step to seize this opportunity. We collected post-war data that included not only assessments of psychological distress and symptoms of PTSD, but also extensive measures of the stress process. The respondents were 650 people from our original sample. The interviewing began on March 20, 1991, 3 weeks after the bombing threat ended, and continued for the following year. The RAPID grant provided funds for data collection only. The present application is for funds to analyze the data. Our aims in these analyses are to: 1) examine the relationship between objective threat (e.g., residence in targeted and bombed areas) and distress (e.g., demoralization and symptoms of PTSD); 2) test whether the relationships among stress, social situations, personal disposition, and psychopathology in our baseline study of more usual stressors are replicated in a situation of abnormal life threatening stress and, 3) address with prospective analyses questions raised but unresolved with the retrospective data from the baseline case/control study. Our longer term goal is to conduct further follow-up interviews that will be informed by the results of analyses proposed here. This longer term follow-up would involve clinical diagnoses by psychiatrists as in the original baseline study. This would enable us to investigate not only how past social, psychological and psychiatric factors affect immediate responses to a life-threatening experience, but also how such responses, in turn, are related to the future course and development of psychiatric disorders.

波斯湾战争期间以色列平民轰炸 提供了一个独特而重要的研究机会来研究 在以色列出生的成年人样本中威胁生命的经验 具有详细的战前基线数据。 这些战前数据是在 生命事件的案例/控制研究以及其他可能的风险因素 精神疾病，尤其是精神分裂症，重度抑郁症， 反社会个性和使用物质，包括酒精中毒。 根据NIMH Rapid计划的一笔小赠款，我们迈出了第一步 抓住这个机会。 我们收集了战后数据，不仅包括 评估PTSD的心理困扰和症状，但也 压力过程的广泛衡量标准。受访者有650人 从我们的原始样本中。采访始于1991年3月20日，3 轰炸威胁结束后的几周，并继续进行以下 年。 快速赠款仅提供数据收集的资金。 现在 应用程序用于分析数据。 我们在这些分析中的目标 是：1）检查客观威胁之间的关系（例如， 居住在有针对性和轰炸的地区）和困扰（例如，士气低落 和PTSD的症状）； 2）测试压力之间的关系是否 我们的社交场所，个人性格和心理病理学 在以下情况下，对更常见的压力源的基线研究被复制 异常威胁生命的压力和3）解决前瞻性分析 提出的问题却没有解决的回顾数据 基线病例/对照研究。 我们的长期目标是进行进一步的后续采访 请通过此处提出的分析结果告知。 这个长期 随访将涉及精神科医生的临床诊断 原始基线研究。这将使我们不仅调查如何 过去的社会，心理和精神病因素会影响直接 对威胁生命的经历的回应，也是这样的回应 反过来，与精神病的未来课程和发展有关 疾病。
