Survey Data on Post-Traumatic Stress Predictors in Young Adults

Eastern and Western European young adults are the focus of this cleaned survey dataset for an undergraduate dissertation. It contains anonymized, pre-processed variables including measures of perceived stress, trauma exposure, adverse childhood experiences, and post-traumatic symptoms. The dataset was created by Andrei Gaspar and last updated in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Replicate statistical analyses on post-traumatic stress predictors based on the described pre-processed variables.
• Examine the relationship between adverse childhood experiences and post-traumatic symptoms based on the included measures.
• Compare perceived stress and trauma exposure levels across different demographic groups implied by the study's regional focus.
• Train or validate models for predicting post-traumatic stress symptoms using the cleaned survey variables.

Strengths

• Data has been pre-processed, including removal of incomplete responses and application of reverse coding.
• Dataset is anonymized and structured to support replication of reported statistical analyses.
• Released under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license.

Limitations

• Dataset is very small at 6.0 KB, indicating limited scope.
• Row count and specific column definitions are unknown, requiring manual inspection after download.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality and geographic detail require verification.
