Article Synopsis
- The study examines the link between childhood maltreatment (CM) reported to authorities and the risk of psychiatric diagnoses by age 30, comparing those with agency-reported CM to the general population.
- Using comprehensive data from birth cohorts in Queensland, Australia, the researchers followed over 83,000 individuals, focusing on psychiatric admissions and types of maltreatment.
- Findings indicate that individuals with agency-reported CM are significantly more likely to receive hospital diagnoses for various psychiatric disorders, especially post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), highlighting the importance of early intervention and support for affected individuals.
To guide prevention and intervention efforts, the prevalence and impact of child sexual abuse (CSA) victimization among detained and incarcerated populations requires further examination, particularly with consideration of multi-type maltreatment experiences and sex-based variations. This longitudinal population-based study explores these relationships in an Australian birth cohort comprising all individuals born in Queensland in 1983 and 1984 ( = 82,409; 48.68% female).
