“…For there is scientific evidence that children who self-reported child sexual assault (CSA) acknowledged depression, anxiety disorders, and suicide ideation (Fergusson, Boden, & Horwood, 2008;Wherry, Baldwin, Junco, & Floyd, 2013) whereas, adolescents, adults and older adults who reported CSA were more likely to report depression, binge drinking, recent marijuana use, partner violence, and diagnoses of mixed anxiety and depression, generalized anxiety disorder, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and suicidal ideation (Felitti et al, 1998;Senn et al, 2010;Chou, 2012). Thus, conducting routine screening, assessing and referrals for emotional problems and depression among children and adolescents in clinical settings including primary care, sexually transmitted disease (STD) and family planning clinics may assist in minimizing the number of undetected cases, underdiagnosising, undertreatment, and possibly the numerous costs associated with diagnoses of emotional trauma and depression among children and adolescents (NICHM Foundation, 2010;European Communities, 2010;Williams, O'Connor, Eder, & Whitlock, 2009;Rhodes, Sciberras, Oberklaid, South, Davies, & Efron, 2012;Friedman, Sadhu, & Jellinek, 2012;Senn et al, 2010;Schwarz, 2010;Hirth & Berenson, 2012;Merikangas et al, 2009).…”
