A Longitudinal Investigation of the Relationship between Posttraumatic Stress Symptoms and Posttraumatic Growth in a Cohort of Israeli Jews and Palestinians during Ongoing Violence
This study aimed to investigate the relationship between posttraumatic growth (PTG) and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) clusters longitudinally using a nationally representative cohort of just over 1,600 Israelis and Palestinian Citizens of Israel (PCI) interviewed via telephone on three measurement occasions during one year. The age range was 18 to 96 years. Approximately 70% of the participants were Jewish, and the remaining 30% were Palestinian Citizens of Israel (PCI). The participants were contacted three times: at baseline, at six months, and at 12 months.
