Approximately 6.2, 2.6, and 3.8% of the sample reported physical abuse, sexual abuse, and serious neglect, respectively, that occurred before age 15 years. There is substantial overlap among various types of childhood maltreatment in the literature (Dong et al. 2004), and bivariate correlations among the three types of childhood maltreatment in the current study were moderate to strong (tetrachoric correlations of 0.30 to 0.71). Overall, childhood maltreatment was reported by 9.1% of the sample.
