Abstract

Adults with substance use disorders (SUDs) report a high prevalence of childhood abuse. Research in the general population suggests specific types of abuse lead to particular negative outcomes; it is not known whether this pattern holds for adults with SUDs. We hypothesized that specific types of abuse would be associated with particular behavioral and emotional outcomes among substance users. That is, childhood sexual abuse would be associated with risky sex behaviors, childhood physical abuse with aggression, and childhood emotional abuse with emotion dysregulation. 280 inpatients (M age=43.3; 69.7% male; 88.4% African American) in substance use treatment completed the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire (CTQ), HIV Risk-Taking Behavior Scale, Addiction Severity Index, Difficulties with Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS), Distress Tolerance Scale (DTS), and Affect Intensity and Dimensions of Affiliation Motivation (AIM). Consistent with our hypotheses, the CTQ sexual abuse subscale uniquely predicted exchanging sex for cocaine and heroin, number of arrests for prostitution, engaging in unprotected sex with a casual partner during the prior year, and experiencing low sexual arousal when sober. The physical abuse subscale uniquely predicted number of arrests for assault and weapons offenses. The emotional abuse subscale uniquely predicted the DERS total score, AIM score, and DTS score. Among substance users, different types of abuse are uniquely associated with specific negative effects. Assessment of specific abuse types among substance users may be informative in treatment planning and relapse prevention.

  • CPA is linked to antisocial outcomes including substance abuse, aggression, criminality and violence.

    “Consistent with this, CPA has been linked to antisocial outcomes including substance abuse, aggression, criminality and violence (Banducci et al., 2014; Lansford et al., 2010).”
  • Avoidance and numbing symptoms are associated with several AS-related outcomes among African American women, including violence, aggressive behavior, and alcohol dependence.

    “Avoidance and numbing symptoms are also associated with several ASrelated outcomes among African American women, including violence (Semiatin et al., 2017), aggressive behavior (Banducci et al., 2014), and alcohol dependence (Goldstein et al., 2017).”

    From Childhood Physical Abuse and Antisocial Traits: Mediating Role of Posttraumatic Stress Symptom Clusters (2022) · cites this paper as Banducci et al., 2014

    Banducci et al. are cited for the aggressive-behavior portion of the sentence. The Abstract reports that childhood physical abuse predicted arrests for assault and weapons offenses in a predominantly male inpatient sample; it does not report whether avoidance and numbing symptoms are associated with aggression among African American women. A search for avoidance symptoms and aggression found no such analysis in our copy. (LLM, conf=0.76)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
