Co-development of traumatic stress symptoms and externalising behaviour problems among foster children and the effect of complex trauma: a latent growth curve model by Alina Streicher, Alexander Haselgruber, Katharina Sölva, Brigitte Lueger-Schuster

“…As little is known about the interactions between comorbid disorders over time, the present study aims to explore the co-development of traumatic stress (TS) symptoms and externalising behaviour problems (EBP), as well as the influence of complex trauma operationalised as cumulative child maltreatment (CM).Setting As part of a 3-year longitudinal study, children from six foster care facilities in Lower Austria were interviewed at three measurement points.Participants Of, in total, 263 participating children, the data of 124 children aged 10–18 years (M=13.5, 28% female) could be analysed.Primary and secondary outcome measures Latent growth curve models were used to examine the co-development of TS symptoms (International Trauma Questionnaire) and EBP (Child Behaviour Checklist) over time; gender, age and cumulative CM (Childhood Trauma Questionnaire) acted as time-invariant covariates.Results While average TS symptoms decreased over time, EBP remained stable. …”
