Text

Childhood maltreatment was a significant predictor of depression and serious violence in adolescence for both Blacks and Whites. These results are consistent with previous literature [3, 5, 9]. In contrast, there was no effect of childhood maltreatment on heavy drinking, a finding also consistent with some prior studies of males [8].
