Abstract

IPV and ACEs are linked to higher PTSD scores for men from all racial/ethnic groups. Greater endorsement of masculinity norms is linked to higher PTSD scores for Latino and White men, but not Black men. Endorsement of masculinity norms did not moderate the relationship between IPV and PTSD for any of the groups.
