Despite awareness about high rates of sexual abuse among girls in the juvenile justice system, little is known about the additional risk conferred upon sexually diverse (SD) youths, as well as the combined vulnerability of sexual abuse and commercial sexual exploitation of children (CSEC) - frequently a survival behavior amplifying disproportionate juvenile justice contact among SD and non-SD juvenile justice-involved (JJI) girls. In a sample of JJI-girls, we compared SD ( = 52) with non-SD ( = 46) JJI-girls on sexual victimization (e.g.

Background: Prior sexual trauma (ST) is associated with greater risk for posttraumatic stress disorder after a subsequent traumatic event; however, the underlying neurobiological mechanisms remain opaque. We investigated longitudinal posttraumatic dysfunction and amygdala functional dynamics following admission to an emergency department for new primarily nonsexual trauma in participants with and without previous ST.

Methods: Participants ( = 2178) were recruited following acute trauma exposure (primarily motor vehicle collision).

Physical stress has been found to enhance arousability by visual sexual stimuli on a short-term basis, as reflected in higher phasic pupil dilation responses, probably mediated by sympathetic nervous system (SNS)-related processes. However, previous research has not addressed the specificity of this effect in terms of emotional valence, that is, whether it reflects an instance of general excitation transfer or a more specific mechanism. Thus, to further investigate changes in sexual processing after acute stress exposure, 40 male participants underwent either a predominantly sympathetic stressor (3 min sustained handgrip) or similar control procedure.

Article Synopsis
  • - This study explores how survivors of sexual trauma (ST) may experience different PTSD symptoms compared to those with non-sexual trauma (NST), particularly focusing on Black women with a history of trauma from childhood and adulthood.
  • - Findings indicate that ST is linked to more severe PTSD symptoms across all categories, especially in those with repeated experiences of ST, while showing heightened fear responses through increased startle reactions.
  • - Despite the severity of PTSD symptoms in ST survivors, the study concludes that their symptom profiles do not differ significantly from those of NST survivors, suggesting that ST is a particularly impactful but not uniquely symptomatic stressor.
