Text

Rates of alcohol, cigarette, and cannabis are shown by CSA status in Table 2, with lifetime users categorized as early, average, and late initiators. Chi-square tests of association revealed significant differences in use/age at first use by CSA status for all three substances: alcohol (X2(3)=43.23, p<0.001), cigarettes (X2(3)=100.30, p<0.001), and cannabis (X2(3)=114.18, p<0.001). In every case, women who had experienced CSA were overrepresented in the early use category.
