Traumatically bereaved children are at risk for traumatic grief, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and depression. Ecological approaches to development suggest that variability in child outcomes may result from the influence of individual characteristics of the child and environmental influences. Within the framework of the ecological model, this study examined age, gender, family functioning, and peer social support as moderators of the impact of trauma severity on children's symptoms of traumatic grief, PTSD, and depression. The relative importance of family functioning and peer support in the prediction of children's symptoms across age was then examined. Seventy-nine children, ages 8--18, who experienced the death of a primary caregiver on September 11, 2001 were included.

520 $a Traumatically bereaved children are at risk for traumatic grief, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and depression. Ecological approaches to development suggest that variability in child outcomes may result from the influence of individual characteristics of the child and environmental influences. Within the framework of the ecological model, this study examined age, gender, family functioning, and peer social support as moderators of the impact of trauma severity on children's symptoms of traumatic grief, PTSD, and depression. The relative importance of family functioning and peer support in the prediction of children's symptoms across age was then examined. Seventy-nine children, ages 8--18, who experienced the death of a primary caregiver on September 11, 2001 were included.
520 $a Hierarchical linear regression analyses demonstrated that each trauma severity variable was related to a different outcome variable, and, within these associations, age and gender moderated the impact. Younger boys who were physically exposed to the September 11th attacks reported more PTSD symptoms than older, physically exposed boys, whereas physically exposed, older girls reported more symptoms than physically exposed, younger girls. Younger boys experiencing emotional exposure (the death of an additional friend or loved one) reported more depression than older boys experiencing emotional exposure, and younger girls who did not experience emotional exposure, reported greater depression than older girls in this exposure group. In families where the surviving parent ceased employment following September 11 th, younger children reported higher traumatic grief symptoms than older children.
520 $a For children reporting high family conflict, those physically exposed to the September 11th attacks reported higher levels of PTSD than those not physically exposed. For children reporting high peer social support, physically exposed children reported higher levels of PTSD symptoms than those not physically exposed. In examining the relative importance of family functioning and peer social support in the prediction of children's symptoms across age, peer support became irrelevant in all but one model: younger children's depression. In this model, peer support made a greater unique contribution to the explanation of variance than both individual family variables.
520 $a Directions for future research, study limitations, and clinical implications for work with traumatically bereaved children are discussed.
