虽然有初步证据表明，对妇女和儿童的暴力行为可能特别普遍，在一些美洲土著社区，虐待和药物滥用，心理健康问题，自杀企图之间的关联很少在这一人口进行研究。这项研究调查了30名美国土著妇女的一生和目前的身体和性虐待。近一半的人在童年时曾遭受过身体和/或性虐待，一半以上的人在一生中的某个时候受到过性虐待，四分之三以上的人受到伴侣的虐待。除四名妇女（87%）外，所有妇女在其一生中都经历过身体或性虐待。儿童期虐待，药物滥用，成年后再受害，累积终身滥用事件，药物滥用和抑郁症之间的显着关系。需要进一步研究，以审查虐待和虐待之间的关系和健康后遗症在美洲原住民人口。需要加快公共卫生和社区反应，以解决该社区的虐待问题。
Although there is preliminary evidence that violence against women and children may be particularly prevalent in some Native American communities, associations between abuse and substance abuse, mental health problems, and suicide attempts have rarely been studied in this population. This study examined lifetime and current physical and sexual abuse among 30 Native American women. Nearly half had experienced physical and/or sexual abuse as children, over half were sexually abused at some time in their lives, and over three-fourths were abused by a partner. All but four women (87%) had experience physical or sexual abuse in their lifetime. Significant relationships were found among childhood abuse, substance abuse, and adult revictimization, and among cumulative lifetime abuse events, substance abuse, and depression. Further research is needed to examine abuse and relationships between abuse and health sequelae in Native American populations. An accelerated public health and community response is needed to address abuse issues in this community.
