Thesis / Dissertation Description

The relationship between traumatic events and health perceptions among adolescents is poorly understood. While social support and self-efficacy protect adults from the adverse effects of trauma, the nature of this relationship among adolescents is not clear. The Adolescent Trauma Conceptual Model provides a useful framework to examine these complex interrelationships. The purpose of this research is to examine the relationship between traumatic events such as violent life events, non-violent life events, a natural disaster, and war, and health perceptions in an adolescent population. Additionally, the protective effects of social support and self-efficacy upon these traumatic events and health perceptions is examined. This descriptive correlational study is a subcomponent of the Carolina Adolescent Health Project (CAHP), a three-year longitudinal project aimed to study the effects of Hurricane Hugo on the health of South Carolina adolescents.
