The study examines family characteristics that put adolescent girls at increased risk of abuse, mainly physical, sexual and emotional abuse and neglect. Stratified random sampling was done among classes 7th to 12th of government girls' schools of a semi-urban area of Delhi, and a total of 1060 adolescent girls participated. Majority were in mid-adolescence. Approximately 70% study subjects faced at least one form of maltreatment. Physical abuse was faced by 42.6%, sexual abuse by 26.6%, emotional abuse by 37.9% and neglect by 40.1% of study subjects. The most frequent perpetrator of physical and emotional abuse was mother, and of sexual abuse were friends, relatives or neighbours. No or low education of father increased odds of physical and emotional abuse, while odds of physical abuse and neglect were lower if mothers were housewives. Excessive arguments between parents and history of maltreatment in parents increased odds of child maltreatment in study subjects.
该研究调查了使青春期女孩遭受虐待（主要是身体、性和情感虐待及忽视）风险增加的家庭特征。在德里一个半城市地区的政府女子学校7至12年级进行了分层随机抽样，共有1060名青春期女孩参与。大多数处于青春期中期。约70%的研究对象面临至少一种形式的虐待。42.6%的研究对象遭受身体虐待，26.6%遭受性虐待，37.9%遭受情感虐待，40.1%遭受忽视。身体和情感虐待最常见的施虐者是母亲，性虐待的施虐者是朋友、亲戚或邻居。父亲未受过教育或受教育程度低会增加身体和情感虐待的几率，而母亲是家庭主妇时，身体虐待和忽视的几率较低。父母之间频繁争吵以及父母有虐待史会增加研究对象遭受儿童虐待的几率。
