本文调查了美国2030名2-17岁儿童的全国代表性样本中受害的累积患病率及其对心理健康的影响。对照料者和青年进行的电话访谈显示，在一生中遭受大多数形式的受害的社会人口统计学差异很大，少数族裔、社会经济地位较低的人以及生活在单亲家庭和继母家庭的人遭受的受害更大。性侵犯、虐待儿童、目睹家庭暴力和其他重大暴力暴露均对抑郁和愤怒/攻击性程度都有独立的影响。其他非受害逆境也显示出实质性的独立影响，虽然在大多数情况下，每个受害领域仍然是心理健康的重要预测因素，但结果表明，在儿童的一生中，累积接触多种形式的受害是心理健康风险的一个重要来源。(C)2005爱思唯尔有限公司。保留所有权利。
This paper examines the cumulative prevalence of victimization and its impact on mental health in a nationally representative sample of 2030 children aged 2-17 in the USA. Telephone interviews conducted with both caregivers and youth revealed socio-demographic variations in lifetime exposure to most forms of victimization, with ethnic minorities, those lower in socio-economic status, and those living in single parent and stepfamilies experiencing greater victimization. Sexual assault, child maltreatment, witnessing family violence, and other major violence exposure each made independent contributions to levels of both depression and anger/aggression. Other non-victimization adversities also showed substantial independent effects, while in most cases, each victimization domain remained a significant predictor of mental health, Results suggest that cumulative exposure to multiple forms of victimization over a child's life-course represents a substantial source of mental health risk.
