Psychosocial Sequelae of Violent Victimization in a National Youth Sample.
Boney-McCoy, Sue; Finkelhor, David
Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, v63 n5 p726-36 Oct 1995
In a national telephone survey of youths 10-16 years (n=2,000), over one-third reported having been the victims of assault. Victimized respondents displayed significantly more psychological and behavioral symptomology than nonvictims, even after controlling for other possible sources of distress. Findings suggest substantial mental health morbidity associated with child and adolescent victimization. (JPS)
