Abstrakt:	Introduction : Work-related stress (WRS) and posttraumatic disorder (PTSD) is higher among Black adults relative to their White counterparts. Trauma exposure is not the only connection to increased risk for PTSD as WRS is highly associated with risk for PTSD. However, the factors that link WRS and PTSD among working Black adults is not well understood. Materials and Methods : Cross-sectional data from the National Survey of American Life was used to examine the relationship between WRS and PTSD among 2,139 working Black adults and to determine whether there are influencing factors. Results : Logistic regression analyses revealed that working Black adults who reported experiencing WRS was associated with higher odds of PTSD than those who reported no WRS (OR: 1.24, 95% CI: 1.04-1.48). The relationship was attenuated when depression, alcohol abuse, and major discrimination were added to the model (OR: 1.09, 95% CI: 0.87-1.36). Mediation analyses show that the average indirect effect of WRS on PTSD were 0.09 ± 0.04 for alcohol abuse, 0.14 ± 0.06 for depression, and 0.35 ± 0.10 for major discrimination. Conclusion : The results underscore the need for culturally responsive trauma-informed public health interventions for working Black adults. Public health practitioners should be alerted to the relationship between WRS and PTSD among working Black adults and the potential contributing factors (alcohol abuse, depression, and major discrimination). Special attention should be given to working Black females with their worse PTSD status and major discrimination experiences which demonstrated greater effect on the relationship between WRS and PTSD.
