AIMS: To investigate whether daily stressors mediate the association between war exposure and symptoms of post-traumatic stress and depression among war-affected youth. METHOD: Standardised assessments were conducted with 363 Sierra Leonean youth (26.7% female, mean age 20.9, s.d. = 3.38) 6 years post-war. RESULTS: The extent of war exposures was significantly associated with post-traumatic stress symptoms (P&lt;0.05) and a significant proportion was explained by indirect pathways through daily stressors (0.089, 95% CI 0.04-0.138, P&lt;0.001). In contrast, there was little evidence for an association from war exposure to depression scores (P = 0.127); rather any association was explained via indirect pathways through daily stressors (0.103, 95% CI 0.048-0.158, P&lt;0.001). CONCLUSIONS: Among war-affected youth, the association between war exposure and psychological distress was largely mediated by daily stressors, which have potential for modification with evidence-based intervention.</style></abstract><accession-num><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">25497299</style></accession-num><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Newnham, Elizabeth A&lt;br/&gt;Pearson, Rebecca M&lt;br/&gt;Stein, Alan&lt;br/&gt;Betancourt, Theresa S&lt;br/&gt;eng&lt;br/&gt;097822/Z/11/ZR/Wellcome Trust/United Kingdom&lt;br/&gt;Research Support, Non-U.S. Gov't&lt;br/&gt;England&lt;br/&gt;2014/12/17 06:00&lt;br/&gt;Br J Psychiatry. 2015 Feb;206(2):116-21. doi: 10.1192/bjp.bp.114.146324.
