The authors examined the relationships between sexual assault and psychiatric disorders in a sample of 1,157 women 18-64 years old in the North Carolina site of the NIMH Epidemiologic Catchment Area Program. The results suggest that sexual assault is a risk factor for a number of psychiatric disorders. In addition, several characteristics of the assault among sexual assault victims were significantly related to one or more psychiatric disorders. However, there was no clear pattern relating characteristics of the assault to the risk of specific psychiatric disorders.
作者在国家心理健康研究所流行病学集水区项目北卡罗来纳站点的1157名18至64岁女性样本中，研究了性侵犯与精神疾病之间的关系。结果表明，性侵犯是多种精神疾病的一个风险因素。此外，性侵犯受害者遭受的袭击的几个特征与一种或多种精神疾病显著相关。然而，袭击的特征与特定精神疾病风险之间没有明确的关联模式。
