Four hundred forty-seven Medicaid-eligible pregnant chemically dependent women were interviewed during their stay in publicly funded detoxification centers in Massachusetts. One hundred eighty-four women (41%) reported sexual abuse during their lifetime. Sexually abused women differed significantly from women who had not been abused, on a variety of psychological, social, and medical problems indicators. Sexually abused women appear to constitute a specific subgroup of the larger population of substance abusing women, and have unique treatment needs.
447名符合医疗补助条件且有药物依赖问题的孕妇在马萨诸塞州的公立戒毒中心接受治疗期间接受了访谈。184名女性（41%）报告称她们曾遭受过性虐待。在各种心理、社会和医疗问题指标方面，遭受性虐待的女性与未受虐待的女性存在显著差异。遭受性虐待的女性似乎构成了药物滥用女性这一更大群体中的一个特定亚组，并且有独特的治疗需求。
