“…Furthermore, childhood maltreatment has been linked to a cycle of later traumatic victimization and maltreatment among women by spouses or other domestic partners which in turn often leads to homelessness or intermittent periods of housing instability in the women's attempts to escape their abusive environments (Browne, 1993;Browne & Bassuk, 1997;El-Bassel, Witte, Wada, Gilbert, & Wallace, 2001;Muehlenhard, Highby, Lee, Bryan, & Dodrill, 1998;Tyler, Hoyt, Whitbeck, & Cauce, 2001;Wenzel, Leake, & Gelberg, 2001). In addition, women who report childhood abuse and neglect often report concomitant high levels of parent substance abuse problems during their childhood (Fox & Gilbert, 1994;Melchert, 2000;Shah, Dail, & Heinrichs, 1995). This study explores whether early abuse, as manifested in sexual, physical, or verbal abuse, or parent substance abuse have the more pervasive effect on later adverse behavioral and psychological outcomes and whether recent physical abuse and lower self-esteem can mediate between childhood influences and current maladaptive outcomes.…”

“…For college men, self-reports of CSA range from 10% to 16% (Boudewyn & Liem, 1995;Clemmons, 2004;Clemmons et al, 2007). For college women, self-reports of CSA range from 6.3% to 28% and self-reports of CPA ranged MEASURING ABUSE SEQUELAE 6 from 14.7% to 32.4% (Boudewyn & Liem, 1995;Cruise, 1998;Fox & Gilbert, 1994;Fromuth, 1986;Gagnon, 1965;Gold et al, 1994;Messman-Moore, Walsh, & DiLillo, 2010).…”

The current study used the Trauma Symptom to index both childhood sexual abuse (CSA) and childhood physical abuse (CPA) in a college student sample of both men and women (N = 441). Although the TSC-40 was designed as a measure of CSA trauma, this study concludes the measure is appropriately reliable for indexing the traumatic sequelae of CPA as well as CSA in nonclinical samples. The current study also explored the effects of gender and abuse severity on resulting symptomatology, finding that women and severely abused individuals report the most negative sequelae. Both CSA and CPA emerged as significant explanatory variables in TSC-40 scale scores beyond gender, supporting its validity for indexing traumatic sequelae in nonclinical samples.

“…These children also have an increased risk of a variety of other adverse childhood experiences, including being abused or neglected, witnessing domestic violence, and being exposed to drug-abusing, mentally ill, suicidal, or criminal household members (6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11). A greater risk of alcohol abuse, other psychopathology, and other medical and social problems have also been reported among adult children of parents with alcohol dependence than among other adults (12)(13)(14).…”

Background: Negative life events present a risk for suicidal behaviour. The occurrence of suicidal behaviour also depends on type of negative life events, time of their appearance and the support person has in their environment, and can be part of a process triggered by a stressful event. The aim of the study was to investigate adverse childhood events, parental alcoholism and alcohol abuse in association with suicidal behaviour of suicide victims. Methods:A case-control study was conducted involving 90 individuals from Slovenian population who committed suicide and 90 age-sex matched controls drawn from the living population. Data were collected by means of semi-structured interviews with key informants by the principles of psychological autopsy.Results: Alcohol abuse was reported more often for suicide victims than for controls. The same was true for severe deprivation in childhood and alcoholism of one or both parents. Differences between groups in separation from one or both parents, death of one or both parents, reported parental divorce in childhood or sexual abuse in childhood were not observed. Conclusions:We should conclude that negative events in childhood and alcohol abuse in adulthood of suicide victims could be related to suicidal behaviour in population with higher suicide rate. When planning measures for the prevention of suicidal behaviour, adverse events in childhood and alcohol abuse should not be neglected to plan measures to prevent such events accordingly and to raise awareness about the dangers of alcohol abuse for suicidal behavior. IzvlečekIzhodišča: Negativni življenjski dogodki predstavljajo tveganje za samomorilno vedenje. Pojav samomorilnega vedenja je odvisen od vrste negativnega življenjskega dogodka, časa njegovega pojava in podpore, ki jo ima oseba v svojem okolju in je lahko del procesa, ki ga je sprožil stresni dogodek. Namen študije je bil raziskati pojav neželenih dogodkov in alkoholizma staršev v otroštvu pri žrtvah samomora, zlorabo alkohola med žrtvami ter morebitno povezanost teh dogodkov s pojavom samomorilnega vedenja.Metode: V raziskavo je bilo vključenih 90 žrtev samomora in 90 intervjuvancev iz splošne populacije, ki so bili vključeni kot kontrolna skupina. Med osebami, ki so bile vključene v raziskavo, ni bilo razlik v spolu in starosti. Podatki so bili zbrani s pomočjo polstrukturiranih intervjujev po metodi psihološke avtopsije.Rezultati: O zlorabi alkohola so pogosteje poročali pri žrtvah samomora kot v kontrolni skupini. Tudi poročanje o hudem pomanjkanju in alkoholizmu enega ali obeh staršev v otroštvu je bilo pogostejše v skupini žrtev samomora kot v kontrolni skupini intervjuvancev.
