Abstract
Associations among childhood assault (rape, aggravated assault, or both) an
d indices of adult mental health (posttraumatic stress disorder, major depr
essive episode) were examined in a national probability sample of 4,008 (we
ighted) women. Relationships among assault characteristics and these adult
mental health indices were also investigated. Findings suggested particular
ly deleterious effects for childhood aggravated assault and rapes that caus
ed additional physical injury.
