TY - JOUR PY - 1987// TI - Factors associated with an increased impact of child sexual abuse JO - Child abuse and neglect A1 - Conte, Jon R. A1 - Schuerman, J. R. SP - 201 EP - 211 VL - 11 IS - 2 N2 - Data is presented identifying factors associated with the impact of sexual abuse on children. A group of 369 sexually abused children and a comparison group of 318 children recruited from the community were compared on a parent-completed behavior rating scale. Data describing the abused children were also available from a 38-item symptom checklist completed by the child's social worker. Using a score based on the symptom checklist as the measure of the impact of sexual abuse, 15 variables were in the final regression equation explaining 42% of the variance in impact. Using a score based on parent-generated data, 5 variables were in the final equation explaining 20% of the variance. The significance of the variables in identifying factors associated with an increased impact of abuse is discussed.
