How do you deal with the question--again, I'm sensitive to some of the points that Mrs. Hinton has raised--that somebody could be assessed as being at risk for more likelihood of having a post-traumatic stress incident, but maybe not? It's very much an ethereal or subjective thing that you're measuring, unlike a physical heart condition or asthma, etc. How do you deal with somebody who is assessed ahead of time and told, no, you shouldn't go and do that, but in their own mind they say, I can do that, and they suffer anxiety or trauma because they were refused to do something? You could create a catch-22 because of the difficult nature of what you're assessing.
