Traumatic stress and mental health among war-zone immigrants in Toronto
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract Although high rates of posttraumatic stress have been noted in individuals exposed to war zones, accumulating research evidence in this area suggests that exposure to war-related trauma may also lead to positive adaptation and posttraumatic growth. Given the prevalence of war-zone migration throughout the world, understanding the processes of post-war adaptation among immigrants is important. This study investigates psychological health and post-immigration adaptation among war-zone immigrants in Toronto. Participants in this study (N = 46) included recent immigrants to Toronto from global war-zone regions in which they had experienced prolonged exposure to traumatic events. Participants completed questionnaires and structured interviews about their exposure to stressful life events, current and previous psychological health and functioning. Participants reported prolonged exposure to violent events in their country of origin. Although high levels of posttraumatic stress symptoms were reported proximate to the events, less was reported at present and participants all reported greatly improved health and psychological well-being. Results are discussed in terms of the course of stress-related psychological sequelae and mental health among war-zone immigrants in Toronto.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
