Subject: Examines the role of coping in the onset of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in a non-patient population following exposure to a natural disaster. In contrast to other studies, the use of all coping strategies was found to be associated with the presence of PTSD rather than the absence of symptoms. These data suggest that coping (in this sense) represents a psychological process used to contain the distress caused by sumptoms as well as to manage environmental adversity
