Research has shown that physical and sexual maltreatment precipitate runaway behavior in adolescents. However, there have been few large-scale examinations of the family, school, and personal problems of maltreated adolescents. In the present paper, an 85-item Client Information Record was completed on 2,019 runaways by shelter staff from eight southeastern states. There were significant differences in the problems reported by physically abused and sexually abused runaways when compared to their nonabused runaway peers. Runaways who were both physically and sexually maltreated were significantly more vulnerable and much worse off than those who only experienced either physical or sexual abuse. Implications for the treatment of maltreated runaways are discussed.
研究表明，身体虐待和性虐待会促使青少年离家出走。然而，针对受虐待青少年的家庭、学校及个人问题，大规模的调查却很少。在本文中，来自东南部八个州的收容所工作人员为2019名离家出走者填写了一份包含85个条目的客户信息记录。与未受虐待的离家出走同伴相比，遭受身体虐待和性虐待的离家出走者所报告的问题存在显著差异。同时遭受身体和性虐待的离家出走者比仅经历身体或性虐待的离家出走者明显更脆弱，情况也更糟糕。本文还讨论了对受虐待离家出走者治疗的启示。
