“…Consistent with previous studies (Huston, Parra, Prihoda, & Foulds, 1995;Moghal, Nota, & Hobbs, 1995;Siegel, Sorensen, Golding, Burnam, & Stein, 1987), girls reported more CSA than boys. Two groups in our sample differed regarding this finding.…”

In most epidemiological prevalence studies of child sexual abuse, the role of ethnicity remains unclear. This study examined the prevalence and nature of child sexual abuse in four non-Western ethnic minority groups and compared them with a native Dutch group. A sample of 3,426 young adults (aged 18-25) completed a structured, online survey on experiences of child sexual abuse. A total of 42.9% (n = 1,469) participants reported at least one form of child sexual abuse victimization before the age of 18. Surinamese and Turkish respondents' prevalence rates did not differ from the native Dutch youth. However, the Dutch Antillean respondents reported significantly higher rates of child sexual abuse on specific forms of abuse, whereas the Moroccan respondents reported lower rates compared with their native Dutch peers. With this study, we have more insight into the differences-however small they may be-between ethnic groups and native Dutch youth regarding child sexual abuse.

“…It is consistently reported in the literature that compared to other ethnic groups, Latina women and girls are more likely to be abused by male family members or relatives such as uncles, cousins, brothers, grandfathers, fathers, and stepfathers (Huston, Parra, Prihoda, & Foulds, 1995; Katerndahl, Burge, Kellogg, & Parra, 2005; Romero et al, 1999; Shaw, Lewis, Loeb, Rosado, & Rodriguez, 2001; Ullman & Filipas, 2005). In addition, Romero and colleagues found that four of the women in their study were forced by their families to marry the perpetrators of their abuse.…”

This study examined the prevalence, severity, and circumstances of self-reported sexually coercive and abusive experiences in childhood and adolescence in a community sample of Latina women (N = 204) ages 18 to 34 years. Structured phone interviews were conducted in either English or Spanish. Results indicated that 35% of the women reported experiencing some form of sexual abuse; 31% of the reported perpetrators were family members, and 52% were boyfriends, friends or acquaintances. Of those who reported an abusive experience, 44% said they had not disclosed the abuse to anyone; for those who did disclose, 74% said they felt supported. Findings highlight the importance of including peer and dating-partner abuse in the assessment of CSA, and the necessity for outreach to Latina women who may have never disclosed their experiences of abuse.

“…Additional information about the relationship of the perpetrator to the respondent is needed to better understand the results regarding sexual assault and rape. For example, data from pediatric clinical and child welfare programs have found that Hispanic children are more likely to be sexually abused by extended family members than either Black or non-Hispanic White children (Huston, Parra, Prihoda, & Foulds, 1995; Sanders-Phillips, Moisan, Wadlington, Morgan, & English, 1995). The no-difference finding for rape is consistent with an explanation that there is equal risk of this type of abuse within families, whether those families have immigrated to the United States or not.…”

Childhood Maltreatment Among Hispanic Women in the United States

2012

Prevalence rates of childhood maltreatment among Hispanic women in the United States are presented separately for nativity status and ethnic origin subgroups, and the associations between different types of maltreatment and the development of anxiety and depressive disorders are examined. Analyses used self-report data from 1,427 Hispanic women who participated in the National Latino and Asian American Survey. Foreign-born Hispanic women compared to U.S.-born Hispanic women reported significantly lower rates of sexual assault and witnessing interpersonal violence, and a significantly higher rate of being beaten. Ethnic subgroups reported similar rates of maltreatment, with the exception of rape. Bivariate analyses were remarkably consistent in that regardless of nativity status or ethnic subgroup, each type of maltreatment experience increased the risk of psychiatric disorder. In multivariate models controlling for all types of victimization and proxies of acculturation, having been beaten and witnessing interpersonal violence remained significant predictors of both disorders, but sexual abuse increased risk of anxiety only. A significant interaction effect of family cultural conflict and witnessing violence on anxiety provided very limited support for the hypothesis that acculturation moderates the influence of maltreatment on mental health outcomes. Implications for culturally relevant prevention and intervention approaches are presented.
