Table 1 presents the percentage of respondents in each ordinal category (0 representing no maltreatment and higher numbers representing more frequent maltreatment) for composite maltreatment, physical maltreatment, neglect, and sexual maltreatment for all participants, males, and females. Forty one percent of participants reported being neglected at least once. Physical maltreatment was reported by 29% of respondents, and sexual maltreatment was endorsed by 5% of respondents. Overall, 52% of respondents reported at least one experience of maltreatment. The rates of physical maltreatment and neglect suggest that the infractions captured by these measures may have included relatively mild ones.
