sexual abuse, as well as items assessing onset and recency, and relationship of perpetrator to the participant. Physical abuse included 13 items asking about physical assault from a caregiver or injury arising from a caregiver’s actions towards the participant. Conflict between parents included items to assess for verbal and physical conflict, frequency, and severity. Five items were used to assess physical, emotional and supervisory neglect. Emotional abuse was measured with one item assessing verbal insult. All items were reported to have occurred before the age of 18 years. Family history information was collected using the Family History Assessment Module (FHAM) and the Family History Screen (FHS) (Weissman, et al., 2000). This section assessed lifetime substance use problems and suicidality amongst immediate biological family members (parents, siblings and children).
