These results suggested the differences in the factor structures of the CFA models by gender were minimal and anticipated. Specifically, the anal sex item had a significantly lower loading on the CSA factor in women (0.69) compared to men (0.97) while the intercept of the CSA factor (i.e., mean level on the CSA factor after controlling for the second‐order factor) was significantly higher in the women (0.50) compared to men (0.00). Given these minimal differences, it is apparent that the interview items assessed comparable abuse constructs in females and males.
