121 women (21.4%) and 35 men (6.2%) reported a history of CSA; mean age at first CSA occurrence was 11.0 years (SD 4.3). A lifetime DSM-IV diagnosis of alcohol dependence was more common in men (40.7%) than women (21.2%). The mean ACFS values for women and men were 0.42 (SD 1.01) and 0.43 (SD 0.91) respectively. ACFS were correlated (p<0.0001) with lifetime alcohol dependence diagnoses in both women (r=0.54) and men (r=0.45). Those with a history of CSA had significantly higher ACFS [mean values: CSA+ 0.67 (SD 1.10); CSA- 0.39 (SD 0.94); p<0.0031].
