“…The odds ratio reported in this study is comparable with a similar study in China by Chen et al (2014). However, lower odds ratios were reported by Baboolal et al (2007), MacMillan et al (2001), and Cheasty, Clare, and Collins (1998). These studies were carried out in developed nations.…”

“…Although studies in non-African nations (Baboolal et al, 2007; Chen et al, 2014; Cutajar et al, 2010; Li et al, 2012; MacMillan et al, 2001; Spinhoven et al, 2010) have reported an association between CSA and mental illness in later life, there is a need to elucidate such association in an African setting due to the socio-cultural differences, which could influence the perception and response to traumatic events such as CSA. A striking socio-cultural difference is the communal nature in Nigeria and most African settings, which is believed to promote resilience to life’s traumatic experiences (Muhammad, 2010).…”

This study aimed to examine the relationship between exposure to childhood sexual abuse (CSA) and the occurrence of mental illness in adulthood in Nigeria. An age- and gender-matched case-control study was conducted in the University of Port Harcourt Teaching Hospital, Nigeria, from January to March 2014. Cases were defined as individuals aged 18 to 60 years diagnosed with mental illness while controls were aged 18 to 60 years who did not have mental illness. The study had 304 subjects comprised of 152 case-control pairs. This case-control study showed a statistically significant association between exposure to CSA and occurrence of mental illness in adulthood (pair-matched odds ratio = 3.25, 95% CI = [1.70, 6.21]). The association between CSA and mental illness was still significant (adjusted odds ratio = 3.11, 95% CI = [1.67, 5.82]) after controlling for family functionality. A robust CSA prevention and treatment strategy that considers the victim and the perpetrator in Nigeria is hereby advocated. This could be achieved by the collaborative efforts of the government of Nigeria and non-governmental organizations.

“…[2,4,[13][14][15]23] We found that the more serious the CSA experience was, the higher SCL-90 scores of the psychiatric disorders would be. Although there was no statistical signifi cance in mental symptom scores of female students between those with non-physical contact CSA experience and those without such CSA experience, the general pattern was similar.…”

“…The Gibbings (1997) report came out of a conference on "Youth, Family Life, Mental Health and AIDS" held after the death of a 14-year-old HIV-positive girl who confessed to having had sexual relations with more than 30 adult men. Baboolal et al (2007) investigated the importance of childhood sexual abuse on outpatients attending adult psychiatric outpatient clinics. The aim of the study was to explore the differences in childhood sexual abuse between psychiatric patients and a control sample who were not psychiatric patients.…”

The overall aim is to establish a baseline of the crime prevention arena against which progress can be assessed. The report compiles the available data from multiple sources in order to provide a diagnosis of the size, characteristics, and changing nature of the problem in Trinidad and Tobago. In addition, the report provides a survey of the various crime prevention and suppression policies, programmes, and projects adopted by government, private and non-governmental organisations in recent years. In performing the abovementioned tasks, the report offers an assessment of the data collection, analysis, and crime response capabilities in Trinidad and Tobago, and makes suggestions about the most effective way forward.
