Compared to the community-based group, cocaine dependent cases recruited from treatment were more likely to experience all queried assaultive and violent events as well as witnessing someone injured or killed (see Table 2). Being raped or sexually assaulted was significantly more common in cocaine dependent women recruited from treatment versus the community-based women (58.4% v. 32.5%, respectively). Both the cocaine dependent men and women recruited from treatment were more likely to experience a serious accident than the community-based participants. In contrast, experiencing non-violent trauma (e.g., natural disaster, being exposed to dangerous materials) and other traumatic events was, in general, similar in cocaine-dependent cases and community-based participants.
