title: [Social and familial aspects in physical abuse and sexual abuse experiences in childhood from the viewpoint of young adults. Selected results of the Hamburg Study (1)].
abstract: The basic assumption of this investigation is that sexual abuse and physical maltreatment should not be investigated in isolation. Young adults have been asked to participate in a study on body and sexual experiences in childhood. It was tested how sexually abused and/or physically maltreated women and men differentiate from those without this experiences. 23% out of 616 women were classified as sexually abused and 28% as physically maltreated. 4% of the 452 men were allocated as sexually abused and 14% as physical maltreated. Aside from assessing group differences, the main purpose of this study was to test which variables would predict sexual abuse and physical maltreatment in multivariate analysis. In this part of the study, the relevance of socioeconomic and family factors for the statistical prediction of sexual abuse and physical maltreatment in multivariate analysis are presented.
