“…Although few studies have examined the additive effect of maltreatment frequency on alcohol use, our findings are an interesting complement to those of the ACEs studies, which found that the number of ACEs an individual experienced (not the frequency of each ACE) contributes additively to the risk of a wide variety of substance use problems including early onset of drinking, alcohol problems, and drug dependence (Douglas et al, 2010; Dube et al, 2002; Dube et al, 2006). It is possible that frequency of maltreatment is a proxy for more pervasively hostile home environments.…”

“…Previous research has suggested that as HED becomes more prevalent, weaker relationships between CM and HED are expected during young adulthood (Bensley et al, 2000; Dube et al, 2006). Our findings, however, underscore that neglect and physical abuse individually and in aggregate contribute to more rapid growth in HED frequencies during adolescence and to persistently higher HED during much of adolescence and young adulthood.…”

“…CM manifests in multiple forms, including neglect, physical abuse, and sexual abuse (Cicchetti and Valentino, 2006). Although current evidence is not sufficient to support a causal relationship (Schuck and Widom, 2001), many studies have shown cross-sectional relationships between various forms of CM and hazardous drinking among young individuals in the public service systems (Vaughn et al, 2007; Widom and White, 1997), treatment (Clark et al, 2003; Dube et al, 2006), and community samples (Hamburger et al, 2008; Kendler et al, 2000; Molnar et al, 2001). For example, using a nationally representative sample of adolescents (N=5,513; grades 7-12), Diaz et al found that exposure to physical abuse was associated with a 3.25-fold increase in the relative risk of adolescent drinking (Diaz et al, 2002).…”

“…An emerging body of research suggests a strong association between childhood maltreatment (CM) and adolescent HED (Dube et al, 2006; Nelson et al, 2002). CM manifests in multiple forms, including neglect, physical abuse, and sexual abuse (Cicchetti and Valentino, 2006).…”

“…Although no previous studies have directly examined whether frequency and severity of CM affect adolescent HED trajectories, previous research has shown that the frequency and severity of CM are related differentially to high-risk behaviors including aggression, emotional and behavioral problems, and trauma-related anger, which are known risk factors for adolescent HED (English et al, 2005b; Litrownik et al, 2005; Manly et al, 1994). Using retrospective reports of CM from 17,337 adult HMO members, the Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) Study also found that those who experienced a greater number of ACEs were more likely to initiate alcohol use in early adolescence than their counterparts (Dube et al, 2006). …”

Background Although the literature suggests that childhood maltreatment (CM) relates to adolescent heavy episodic drinking (HED), few studies have examined the long-term effects of CM on adolescent HED. This study is the first to examine associations between exposure to CM and trajectories of HED from adolescence to young adulthood for the US population. Methods Four waves of data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health were used. A total of 8,503 adolescents followed from adolescence (7th–12th grades) into young adulthood (ages 24–32) were assessed on CM and past-year HED frequency. Using growth curve modeling, trajectories of adolescent HED were examined, with subtype, frequency, and severity of CM as the primary independent variables. All of our analyses controlled for common risk factors for adolescent HED, including demographics, parental and peer alcohol use, parental education and employment, family income, parent-child relationship, and adolescent depression. Results After controlling for potential risk factors, neglect and physical abuse – both individually and in conjunction – were associated with faster increases in HED during adolescence and persistently elevated HED over much of adolescence and young adulthood. The frequency of neglect and physical abuse – individually and in conjunction – was also associated with the trajectory of HED, such that additional instances of these types of maltreatment were associated with faster increases in HED during adolescence and higher rates of peak use during young adulthood. Conclusions Child neglect and physical abuse appear to have long-lasting adverse effects on HED beyond adolescence and throughout much of young adulthood.

This study investigated the interrelationships among trauma exposure, PTSD, and mental health problems in a sample of 289 adolescents (199 male, 90 female) detained in a juvenile correctional facility. Mean differences were found in that females scored higher than males on measures of interpersonal trauma exposure and symptoms of both simple and complex PTSD. Females also endorsed more mental health problems in the areas of depression/anxiety, somatic complaints, and suicidal ideation. For all youth, trauma exposure, PTSD, and mental health problems were correlated. Results of structural equation modeling were consistent with the hypothesis that PTSD mediates the relationship between interpersonal trauma and mental health problems for all youth, although the results were stronger for females.
