“…Fifty per cent of those who had experienced abuse under 16 also reported an episode over the age of 16. This revictimization certainly seems to increases the risk of psychiatric disorder over and above the occurrence of childhood abuse alone, as others have found (Gold et al 1999 ;Classen et al 2005). The increased risk might be the direct effect of the further abuse.…”

“…There are currently a number of proposed mediators~e.g., number of sexual partners, psychological distress! to explain the child-to-adult sexual revictimization phenomenon found in some women, but no comprehensive tests of theoretical models~see Breitenbecher, 2001;Gold, Sinclair, & Balge, 1999;Messman & Long, 1996, for reviews of potential mechanisms explaining sexual revictimization!.…”

This study examined correlates of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and mental health service seeking for women sexually assaulted in childhood and/or adulthood (N = 619) identified from the National Comorbidity Survey (1990–1992). Factors related to correlates of PTSD and mental health service seeking varied according to sexual assault history. Ethnic minority women with less formal education, more traumatic and stressful life events, and longer duration of sexual abuse had greater odds of PTSD within certain sexual assault history subgroups. Mental health service seeking was predicted by demographics (e.g., more education, Caucasian race), as well as other psychosocial factors (e.g., life events, social support), and medical insurance status, especially for adult sexual assault victims. Implications for mental health treatment and intervention are drawn for women with different sexual assault histories. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

“…Moreover, it was also thought that victims may see alcohol consumption and self-mutilation as an option to deal with the negative consequences of SA. Gold, Sinclair, and Balge (2000) report that SA increases the risk of SR because victims feel less strong, less valuable, uncontrollable, and desperate due to the psychological problems they experience. In order to clearly determine these views, causative studies are needed.…”

Childhood sexual abuse (SA) is an important problem worldwide. There are many studies concerning the individual and familial risk factors for SA. However, in literature it is emphasized that there is a need for studies on the risk factors concerning sexual revictimization (SR). Because there is no study on the possible risk factors of SR in Turkey, the aim of this study is to determine whether there are meaningful differences between the possible individual and familial risk factors of individuals who have been exposed to SR and individuals who have not been exposed to SR. A total of 210 parents of adolescent girls participated in the study, 70 of them with daughters who have experienced SR, 70 of them with daughters who experienced SA once, and 70 of them with daughters who have not experienced SA. In order to collect data, a Family Information Form developed by the researchers was used. In the analysis of data, Chi Square tests and Holm's Sequential Bonferroni Method were employed. As a result of analyses, it was determined that adolescents who have experienced SR have more alcohol consumption in their family compared to the adolescents who have experienced SA once and the adolescents in the control group. It was also determined that these adolescents experience physical abuse in the hands of their fathers, that they have problems with their parents about curfew hours and boyfriends, that they have a negative circle of friends, that they consume alcohol and perform self-mutilative behaviors, that they skip classes and have a low academic success level. In addition to these, it was determined that compared to the comparison group, the adolescents with SR as well as the adolescents who have experienced SA once have parents with lower education levels, that they experience more family problems recently, and that their mothers are physically abused. With this study on SR, which is the first of its kind in Turkey, it was determined that victims experience various individual and familial problems and that their parents need psychosocial support. The results were discussed under the light of literature, and suggestions were made.
