abstract="This study explored two factors that impact healthy psychosocial development, namely (1) household/family environment and (2) childhood sexual abuse (CSA), and attempted to specify the relationship between them. Using a sample of 323 women (64 CSA victims) attending reproductive health clinics in low-income, urban neighborhoods, time-varying retrospective data on 10 household risk factors were related to CSA and the specific conditions of its occurrence. Five household risks were associated with incread probability of CSA: excessive alcohol use within the household, criminal behavior by a male leading to arrest or incarceration, mother's absence from the household, father's absence, and a high number of residential moves. Patterns of change in household risk during child and adolescent development were different across victim and non-victim households. Compared with non-victim households, victim households exhibited further increases in risk levels during and after the abuse. In conclusion, specific antecedent household conditions associated with specific males within the household increase the odds of CSA. Furthermore, specific risks in these households continue and/or increase after the abuse has ceased. (Abstract Adapted from Source: Adolescent & Family Health, 2000.
