Abstract

In this article the author reviews current literature that investigates the connection between a history of childhood physical and/or sexual abuse and subsequent substance use. In general, current research findings have found a link between child maltreatment and substance use. However, the number of studies focusing on the connection between child abuse and substance use and misuse are limited, and many are plagued with a number of methodological weaknesses. Methodological weaknesses are reviewed and implications for future research are discussed.
