4.5 Conclusion
The high rates of recorded trauma exposure in the cohort highlighted the ability of services to identify trauma-exposure through a thorough clinical assessment. This study did not find a significant relationship between trauma-exposure and symptom severity, which may reflect that the relationship is complex and likely mediated through factors not assessed in this study. Trauma-exposure should be considered in structured assessments and treatment planning, including pharmacological, social, and psychological interventions, to deliver comprehensive trauma informed care.
