The CAT Study computer‐assisted face‐to‐face diagnostic assessment also included SSAGA‐based (Bucholz et al. 1994) assessment of lifetime axis I disorders and suicidal thoughts and behavior. Modifications made to the Christchurch Trauma Assessment (Fergusson et al. 1989, 1996a,b; Fergusson and Lynskey 1997) to reduce respondent burden for this study included combining maternal and paternal CPA assessments and combining some CSA screening questions reducing the total from 17 to 11 items (see Table S1). A small number of questions assessing neglect (4) and EA (2) were added to the interview during the first year of the study.
