| Abstract: | Objective: To document college students' trauma rates and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms; yoga and trauma-sensitive yoga (TSY) experience; and TSY interest, barriers, preferences. Participants: English-fluent students ages 18+ enrolled at a southeastern United States university (N = 339). Methods: A mixed method online survey assessed trauma (Life Event Checklist for DSM-5), PTSD symptoms (Primary Care PTSD Screen for DSM-5), and TSY variables. Results: Ninety-four percent had trauma exposure and 30% reported clinically elevated PTSD symptoms. Some (11%) had heard of TSY and 2% had TSY experience. Most had some TSY interest (73%). Participants with clinically elevated PTSD symptoms and TSY interest (n = 91), reported top barriers of time (56%), scheduling, (55%), and cost (55%), and preferences for hybrid (41%), group programs (69%), for survivors of any trauma type (73%). Conclusions: Results support TSY program need and interest and can be used to develop and implement accessible TSY programs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
