It is estimated that 1,700,000 Vietnam War veterans have experienced "clinically serious stress reaction symptoms" (National Center for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, 2005). Of this figure, all ethnic minorities (except for Japanese) reported the greatest life time prevalence of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) compared to Whites (Kulka, Schlenger, Fairbank, Hough, Jordan, Marmar, & Weiss, 1990). The National Vietnam Veterans Readjustment Study (NVVRS) found that African American Vietnam War veterans had greater exposure to war stressors and had more predisposing factors than Whites (Kulka et al., 1990). The Race-Related Stressor Scale (RRSS) is the only instrument that exists to measure race-related stressors that contribute uniquely and substantially to PTSD symptoms and generalized psychiatric distress in an ethnic minority Vietnam Veteran sample. A previous study found that race-related stressors account for a significant proportion of the variance in PTSD symptoms of Asian American Vietnam Veterans (Loo, Fairbank, Scurfield, Ruch, King, Adams, & Chemtob, 2001). Although African American Vietnam War veterans are one of the most frequently studied samples, no instrument exists to measure race-related exposure accounting for their PTSD symptoms.

520 $a It is estimated that 1,700,000 Vietnam War veterans have experienced "clinically serious stress reaction symptoms" (National Center for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, 2005). Of this figure, all ethnic minorities (except for Japanese) reported the greatest life time prevalence of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) compared to Whites (Kulka, Schlenger, Fairbank, Hough, Jordan, Marmar, & Weiss, 1990). The National Vietnam Veterans Readjustment Study (NVVRS) found that African American Vietnam War veterans had greater exposure to war stressors and had more predisposing factors than Whites (Kulka et al., 1990). The Race-Related Stressor Scale (RRSS) is the only instrument that exists to measure race-related stressors that contribute uniquely and substantially to PTSD symptoms and generalized psychiatric distress in an ethnic minority Vietnam Veteran sample. A previous study found that race-related stressors account for a significant proportion of the variance in PTSD symptoms of Asian American Vietnam Veterans (Loo, Fairbank, Scurfield, Ruch, King, Adams, & Chemtob, 2001). Although African American Vietnam War veterans are one of the most frequently studied samples, no instrument exists to measure race-related exposure accounting for their PTSD symptoms.
520 $a There are two purposes of this study: Primary is to adapt and validate the RRSS using an African American Vietnam Veteran sample, and secondary is to examine the amount of variability the adapted RRSS accounts for in PTSD and generalized psychiatric distress symptoms. This new measure will be called the Vietnam Racial Stressor Scale for African American Vietnam Veterans (VRSS). The construct validity of the adapted RRSS will be examined by investigating the relationship between the VRSS, PTSD, and general psychiatric distress symptoms, controlling for military rank and exposure to combat. The temporal stability of the VRSS will be assessed using Cronbach's Alpha method. Results of the temporal stability of the VRSS will be compared to Loo et al., (2001) RRSS temporal stability for Asian American Vietnam War veterans. A general discussion of the temporal stability comparisons between the RRSS and its adaptations will suggest the generalizability of the RRSS with other Vietnam War veteran ethnic groups.
