We found significantly (χ2 = 7.0, df = 1, p < 0.01) higher rates of childhood maltreatment among Blacks (25.0%) than Whites (17.5%). However, there were no significant differences between Black and White victims in terms of maltreatment timing, type, severity, or chronicity (see Table 1). Therefore, in the rest of the analyses we did not control for these maltreatment characteristics.
