  • The relationship of childhood sexual abuse and depression with somatic symptoms and medical utilization.

    Newman MG, Clayton L, Zuellig A, Cashman L, Arnow B, Dea R, Taylor CB. Psychol Med. 2000; 30 (5): 1063-77

    Previous research suggests that childhood sexual abuse is associated with high rates of retrospectively reported medical utilization and medical problems as an adult. The goal of this study was to determine if abused females have higher rates of medical utilization using self-report and objective measures, compared with non-abused females. A further goal was to determine whether findings of prior research would be replicated when childhood physical abuse level was controlled. This study also examined the moderating impact of depressed mood on current health measures in this population.
