By the Numbers

Traumatic exposures are displayed as percentages of the total participants ages 8-20 surveyed across Texas. The types of traumatic exposure are sorted in the order of the most commonly reported types to those less commonly reported. A portion of participants exposed to traumatic events develop symptoms of severe (criteria A1) trauma displayed by the orange bar. Some of the most common traumatic exposures include illnesses and injuries of close family and friends, hospitalizations and surgeries. Bullying and cyberbullying are relatively new categories which are included without an associated criteria A1 assessment.

TX-CTRN participant recruitment began in 2020 and has since grown to more than 3500 participants. Layers within the graph display the number of participants that have completed each milestone with those represented by the lowest (orange) layer of the graph having completed the full two-year study.

Displayed are the current participant distributions between male/female sex at birth and age.  

The number of participants recruited within each health service region shows broad coverage in identifying childhood trauma exposures across Texas.
