assault (10.2%). Among nearly 35000 respondents in the National Epidemiologic Survey of Alcohol and Related Conditions, African Americans were more likely than Whites to have experienced child maltreatment and witnessed violence (mostly from parental IPV) (Roberts et al., 2011). Our findings echo these and suggest that AUD-affected parents may further increase the risk of serious trauma exposure among Black children over and above their already elevated odds, although in general evidence for a parental AUD effect on trauma was not as strong for Black youth as it was for White youth.
