All five maltreatments were significant predictors (p<0.001) of adult lifetime DSM-IV alcohol dependence, adjusting for demographics. The magnitude of the ORs ranged from 1.45 (emotional neglect) to 2.29 (emotional abuse). Additionally controlling for any other childhood maltreatment yielded associations with alcohol dependence of similar significance (p<0.001), and somewhat lower magnitude for sexual abuse, physical abuse, emotional abuse, and physical neglect. ORs ranged from 1.46 (physical neglect) to 1.84 (sexual abuse). Additionally controlling for other adverse childhood experiences did not further change the significance or magnitude of associations for sexual abuse, physical abuse, emotional abuse and physical neglect (p<0.001).
