Abstract

This paper discusses a new type of comparison group for research on adult survivors of child sexual abuse (CSA). A No Sexual Trauma Comparison Group excludes women who have experienced, during adulthood, a sexual trauma similar in impact to CSA. Using this type of comparison group increases sensitivity to (i.e., the likelihood of detecting) clinically relevant characteristics of CSA survivors.
