520 _aThis article provides an overview of some of the findings from the longitudinal Christchurch Health and Development Study, representing 1,265 children born in Christchurch in 1977. The article discusses findings concerning childhood sexual abuse and adjustment in adolescence, parents harsh or abusive discipline strategies, and domestic violence within the family. It considers the effects of these factors on outcomes later in the lives of the participants. Negative outcomes are identified, including greater risk of psychiatric illness, conduct problems, suicide attempts, and criminal activity. The author stresses that many risk factors combine to influence adulthood outcomes, and recommends a strategic social policy targeting at-risk families as an intervention measure.
