Summary

This chapter presents combined data from longitudinal research on four separate studies of mass shooting episodes conducted with consistent assessment tools and time frames. Index interviews were completed at approximately 1 month for the shooting episodes in Russelville, and Iowa City, and at approximately 2 months for the episodes in Killeen, and Clayton. Consistency of assessment tools used to assess survivors of the four shooting episodes in this report and uniformity of the timing of index assessment allowed comparison across these different events. The chapter talks about the volunteer nature of the Clayton Courthouse shooting sample, and highlights that the other three shooting samples represent a successfully selected majority of the universe of individuals known to be directly exposed to the incident. The prevalence of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) varied considerably across the four shooting incidents studied here.
