title: Performance of female college students and sexual abuse survivors on the Brief Symptom Inventory.
abstract: The relation between childhood molestation and current adjustment, as measured by the Brief Symptom Inventory (BSI), was examined among women college students. Results suggest that the normative data available for the BSI are inappropriate for interpreting the performance of women college students and, particularly, students who have survived sexual abuse.
