This study examines short- and long-term maladaptive outcomes in a sample of sexuallyabused females and a comparison group. The sample consists of intrafamilial sexual abuse victimsages 6–16 years at entry into the study and a demographically similar comparison group.The outcomes examined included measures of behavior and psychological problems such asaggressive behavior, depression, dissociation, and low self-esteem; and measures at two timepoints, first at entry into the study (median age 11 years) and approximately 7 years later (medianage 18 years). The specific questions being addressed were (a) whether subgroups or profiles,based on the specific characteristics of the sexual abuse experienced, can be identified in thissample of abused females; and (b) whether these profile groups predict different patterns ofadverse short- or long-term outcomes.
