Given that one out of ten adolescent girls endorse experiencing CPA in their lifetime (Hanson et al., 2006) and the associated risk of psychopathology and AUD is high, it is important to ensure assessment of CPA in alcohol-related research does not include measurement bias that may confound results pertaining to the association between CPA and alcohol involvement. The current study examined the association of CPA endorsement – assessed via behavioral questions and trauma checklist items – with alcohol-related risk factors and the association of endorsement pattern and AUD risk factors with AUD diagnosis and the consistency of these effects in AA versus EA women.
