The purpose of this exploratory study was to examine the incidence and experience of childhood sexual abuse among chemically dependent women. Structured interviews were conducted with 60 recovering chemically dependent women living in a long-term treatment facility; 68% said they had been recipients of unwanted sexual contacts from perpetrators, such as uncles, brothers, fathers, family friends, neighborhood boys, and strangers. Significant differences between the sexually abused and nonsexually abused chemically dependent women were (1) the abused women were more likely to have family members who were addicted, (2) they were more likely to be African-American, (3) they were more likely to have been raped sometime in their life, (4) they began using drugs at an earlier age, and (5) they had been using drugs longer. The issue of childhood sexual abuse in chemically dependent women needs to be assessed and treated if these women are to be able to begin the long road to recovery.
这项探索性研究的目的是调查化学物质依赖女性童年期遭受性虐待的发生率及经历。对居住在长期治疗机构中的60名正在康复的化学物质依赖女性进行了结构化访谈；68%的人表示她们曾遭受来自叔叔、兄弟、父亲、家庭朋友、邻家男孩及陌生人等施虐者的 unwanted sexual contacts（此处原英文表述有误，推测是unwanted sexual contact，意为 unwanted sexual advances，即 unwanted sexual contact 应翻译为“非自愿性接触”）。遭受性虐待和未遭受性虐待的化学物质依赖女性之间存在显著差异：（1）受虐女性更有可能有家庭成员成瘾；（2）她们更有可能是非裔美国人；（3）她们一生中更有可能曾被强奸；（4）她们开始吸毒的年龄更小；（5）她们吸毒的时间更长。如果这些女性想要踏上漫长的康复之路，那么化学物质依赖女性童年期遭受性虐待的问题就需要得到评估和治疗。
