研究人员对成人创伤后应激症状 (PSS) 和儿童性虐待 (CSA) 幸存者当前健康风险的生物标志物指数与 CSA 严重程度、披露和其他创伤前后因素的关系进行了调查。对 94 名非裔美国人和拉丁裔女性 CSA 幸存者的社区样本进行了评估。严重的 CSA 可以预测总体 PSS、回避/麻木症状和更大的生物标志物风险，并且不受创伤后变量的调节。中度 CSA 严重程度是由创伤后披露、预测重新经历症状介导的，但与生物标志物风险无关。没有发现总体种族差异。结果提出了改善少数民族女性 CSA 幸存者福祉的干预措施目标。
Adult posttraumatic stress symptoms (PSS) and a biomarker index of current health risk in childhood sexual abuse (CSA) survivors was investigated in relation to CSA severity, disclosure and other peri-and post-trauma factors. A community sample of 94 African American and Latina women CSA survivors was assessed. Severe CSA predicted PSS overall, avoidance/numbing symptoms and greater biomarker risk, and was not mediated by post-trauma variables. Moderate CSA severity was mediated by post-trauma disclosure, predicted re-experiencing symptoms but was unrelated to biomarker risk. No overall ethnic differences were found. Results suggest targets for interventions to improve the well-being of minority women CSA survivors.
