Cluster sampling was used to select subjects from the areas that had been surveyed in 1999. PTSD was diagnosed according to DSM-IV criteria, social support was measured according to a Social Support Rating Scale, coping style was measured according to a Simplified Coping Style Questionnaire, and personality was measured by use of the revised Eysenck Personality Questionnaire Short Scale for Chinese. Data were collected through face-to-face interviews by use of a structured questionnaire. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to reveal the determinants of chronic PTSD.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S1935789315000646_abs3\" sec-type=\"results\"><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>A total of 123 subjects were interviewed, 17 of whom (14.4%) were diagnosed with chronic PTSD.
