PTSD, depression, and suicidality among survivors of childhood sexual trauma (CST), military sexual trauma (MST), and sexual revictimization (CST + MST).

Abstract

Findings support the more severe clinical impact of CST + MST-specific sexual revictimization compared with CST-only among military men and women, but also suggest that MST alone can have negative consequences similar to revictimization. While results point to the need to consider context and trauma history in future trauma research and clinical applications, they should be interpreted in light of our sample demographics, which were representative of the southwest U.S. veteran population.
