Abstract
Background: Prevention of psychology about adolescent after earthquake in developing country has become more and more important. This study was undertaken three years after the Yushu earthquake in post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The survey was conveyed in Yushu Tibetan autonomous regions Ethnic School and the number of the participants was about one thousand. The focus of our study is individual risk factors for PTSD. Method: T-test and chi-square test are mainly used to examine the correlation. In particularly, comprehend multiple regressions. Results: Although correlation analysis indicated that there is not any significant different on gender and PTSD in these adolescents, ethnicity dose not also play a significant role in PTSD. We find a positive correlation between grade and PTSD. Family type is important factors for PTSD too. The similar result is also supported by Chi square test. Deliberation---a subtype of rumination could predict the PTSD effectively. Conclusion: This study demonstrated the prevalence of PTSD was low among Tibetan adolescent. Deliberate-a subtype of rumination might have severe impact to the course of PTSD and should therefore be carefully diagnosed and treated early in the course of illness

Summary
Most earthquakes which occur in developing countries bring enormous trauma and stress. Many researchers have studied PTSD among survivors of earthquake, adolescents go through many physical and psychological changes. There is little study among adolescent of minority. This was true for the adolescents of Tibetan who were the focus of this study. Some people even believe that the DSM (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders) criteria for PTSD should be modified for younger people, such as in a lowering of the threshold for avoidance behavior or considering variants of the disorder [4]. Prevention of psychology about adolescent after earthquake in developing country has become more and more important. This study was undertaken three years after the Yushu earthquake in post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The focus of our study is individual risk factors for PTSD
