This study was designed to provide a prevalence rate of childhood abuse in patients being treated for alcohol and other drug problems, and to compare the extent of trauma symptoms that were present in substance abusers with and without childhood histories of physical, sexual, and emotional abuse. One hundred male veterans completed a standard test battery that included the Trauma Symptom Checklist and the Dissociative Experiences Scale. Clinical information pertaining to history of childhood abuse was obtained from the subjects' medical charts. Results demonstrated that 34% of the sample reported a history of childhood abuse. Although this group did achieve higher mean scores on all the scales, in comparison to the nonabused group, statistical significance was absent. Implications of these findings are discussed and future research is suggested.
本研究旨在提供接受酒精及其他药物问题治疗的患者中儿童期受虐的患病率，并比较有和没有身体、性和情感虐待儿童期病史的药物滥用者中存在的创伤症状程度。100名男性退伍军人完成了一套标准测试，包括创伤症状检查表和分离体验量表。从受试者的病历中获取有关儿童期受虐史的临床信息。结果表明，34%的样本报告有儿童期受虐史。尽管与未受虐组相比，该组在所有量表上的平均得分确实更高，但不存在统计学意义。讨论了这些发现的意义并提出了未来的研究建议。
