Text

History of childhood trauma was assessed with multiple measures in both child and primary caregiver interviews. Child reports were gathered with items from the Child PTSD Symptom Scale [32], the Abuse Questionnaire (developed by the PGS), and items pertaining to victimization from the Child Police Contact measure [33], which queried up to 4 different contacts per year. Additionally, girls who endorsed substance use were asked whether they had ever been victimized while under the influence of alcohol or drugs (using separate questions for alcohol and 8 different classes of drugs) and those who reported having a romantic partner were administered the Romantic Partner subscale of the Conflict Tactics Scale [34]. Primary caregiver reports of serious child victimization were gathered with the Health Questionnaire [33] and Child Police Contact measure [33]. Events queried and ages administered are shown by reporter for each measure in Table 1.
