sexab: Post traumatic stress disorder in abused adult females
Description
The data for this example come from a study of the effects of
childhood sexual abuse on adult females. 45 women being treated at a clinic, who reported
childhood sexual abuse, were measured for post traumatic
stress disorder and childhood physical abuse both on
standardized scales. 31 women also being treated at the same clinic, who
did not report childhood sexual abuse were also measured. The full study
was more complex than reported here and so readers interested in the
subject matter should refer to the original article.source
