As a secondary objective, the comorbidity of chronic pain and PTSD in Northern Ireland (NI) was also examined given high regional prevalence rates. Participants completed a PTSD screening measure, along with measures of pain interference, social functioning, pain anxiety, pain self\u2010efficacy, pain intensity and depression.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Screening indicated that 46.4% had never experienced a traumatic event, 22.5% had experienced a traumatic event but screened negative for PTSD and 31.1% screened positive for PTSD. Following identification of covariates, a Multivariate Analysis of Covariance examined differences in dependent measures by PTSD category, which yielded a similar pattern of results across measures. The group that screened positive for PTSD reported worse functioning and more disruptions in comparison to the other two PTSD groups, with the latter groups not differing on any measure.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>These analyses indicate that poorer functioning was not associated with trauma exposure alone; rather, it was experienced in association with PTSD symptoms.
