## Objective: This study aimed to estimate the prevalence and risk factors of probable posttraumatic stress disorder (ptsd) among adolescent survivors of the 2013 lushan earthquake. ## Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted in the longmenshan thrust fault area at three years after the 2013 earthquake in lushan, china. most respondents (60.8%) had also been exposed to the 2008 wenchuan earthquake. probable ptsd was identified based on the children's revised impact of event scale (cries-13), the adolescent self-rating life events checklist and earthquake experience scale. logistic regression was used to identify risk factors of probable ptsd. ## Results: Probable ptsd prevalence was 14.1% among all respondents (n = 3851), 15.9% among those who had been exposed to the 2008 and 2013 earthquakes (n = 2342) and 11.3% among those who had experienced only the 2013 earthquake (n = 1509). earthquake-related factors most strongly associated with probable ptsd were feeling scared of dying and exposure to the wenchuan earthquake. the negative life event most strongly associated with probable ptsd was academic stress. ## Conclusion: Among survivors of the 2013 lushan earthquake, risk of
