Existen clínicas especializadas, basadas en evidencia para tratamiento sobre trauma psicológico. Los datos de los pacientes de estas clínicas deben analizarse para comprender mejor esta población. En esta investigación, describimos el perfil sociodemográfico y clínico de investigación y tratamiento para pacientes que experimentan desórdenes de ansiedad y PTSD, localizada en el área metropolitana de Puerto Rico: el Centro para el Estudio y Tratamiento del Miedo y la Ansiedad (CETMA). Hicimos un análisis secundario de la base de datos de CETMA, con datos de la evaluación multidimensional realizada en la entrevista de cernimiento inicial. Identificamos 35 pacientes con un diagnóstico preliminar de PTSD. Estos pacientes eran mujeres en su mayoría, entre las edades de 19-30 años, solteras, empleadas, con un grado completado de bachillerato. Adicional, tenían entre 2-4 diagnósticos. La comorbilidad más común era el desorden de ansiedad generalizada. Reportaron un historial psiquiátrico previo de PTSD, depresión, y ataques de pánico. En promedio, los pacientes recibieron entre 1-15 sesiones. Los resultados resaltan la necesidad de educar y diseminar estos servicios al público, una población en riesgo de experimentar PTSD.
