abstract="OBJECTIVE: The aim of the study was to identify the unique contribution of three sets of contextual factors (maternal supports, family problems and characteristics of the sexual aggression) on adolescents' post-disclosure symptoms. All participants were abused by a family member. METHOD: A total of 71 adolescents girls were recruited from youth center services across Quebec. Psychological distress was evaluated with &quot;Trauma Symptoms Checklist for Children&quot; (TSC-C; Briere, 1989). Adolescents also completed self-report instruments and semi-structured interviews to evaluate contextual factors. RESULTS: Regression analyses indicated that general maternal support explain more variance in most of TSC-C symptoms than maternal response to disclosure. Analysis highlight that alcohol problems in family and various characteristics of sexual aggression explain a unique part of variance of several symptoms. CONCLUSIONS: The discussion addresses the need to continue to explore these questions with more specific instruments to evaluate family problems. A large spectrum of symptoms should also be considered.<p /> <p>Language: fr</p>",
