N2  - This study utilises data obtained via the Christchurch Health and Development study (a longitudinal study consisting of 1265 children born in Christchurch in mid-1977) to examine the relationship between exposure to childhood abuse and interparental violence, and the subsequent development of panic attacks and panic disorder. Quantitative analysis was employed on the data of 983 young people with complete measures on childhood trauma and panic attack/disorder. A number of possible confounding childhood and family risk factors were controlled for. The results indicate that exposure to childhood physical abuse was associated with a significantly increased risk of later panic attack and panic disorder. Where childhood sexual abuse had occurred there was a significantly increased risk of panic attack and a marginally significant increased risk of panic disorder. There was no relationship found between exposure to interparental violence and later panic attack or disorder. It is suggested that clinicians need to be cognisant of the potential increased risk for panic during young adulthood where there are patient histories of childhood physical and sexual abuse
