These associations persisted after adjustment for mental disorders.ConclusionsExposure to traumatic events predicts subsequent onset of psychotic experiences even after adjusting for comorbid mental disorders.}, keywords = {*Life Change Events, Comorbidity, Global Health/statistics \& numerical data, Health Surveys/statistics \& numerical data, Humans, Mental Disorders/*epidemiology, Prevalence, Psychological Trauma/complications/*epidemiology, Psychotic Disorders/*epidemiology/etiology}, isbn = {0007-1250}, doi = {10.1192/bjp.bp.117.205955}, author = {McGrath, J.
