This study examines associations between childhood maltreatment and developmental trajectories of sexual risk behaviors (SRBs) in a sample of 882 sexually active adolescent girls, predominantly Hispanic or Black, assessed every 6 months between 13 and 23 years. Latent profile analyses revealed four distinct maltreatment profiles: Low Maltreatment (76%), Moderate Emotional Neglect Only (15%), Severe Physical/Emotional Abuse (3%), and Severe Sexual Abuse (6%). Multilevel growth analyses showed the Moderate Emotional Neglect Only and Severe Sexual Abuse profiles exhibited more SRBs starting in late adolescence, and the Severe Sexual Abuse profile also exhibited a faster increase than the Low Maltreatment profile. Understanding heterogeneity within maltreated populations may have important implications for healthy sexual development.
本研究调查了 882 名性活跃的青春期少女样本中，童年期虐待与性风险行为（SRBs）发展轨迹之间的关联。这些少女主要为西班牙裔或非裔，在 13 至 23 岁期间每 6 个月接受一次评估。潜在剖面分析显示出四种不同的虐待模式：低虐待（76%）、仅中度情感忽视（15%）、严重身体/情感虐待（3%）和严重性虐待（6%）。多层次增长分析表明，仅中度情感忽视和严重性虐待模式在青春期后期表现出更多的 SRBs，而严重性虐待模式的增长速度也比低虐待模式快。了解受虐待人群中的异质性可能对健康的性发展具有重要意义。
