520			_aThis article examines whether exposure to childhood sexual abuse is linked with adolescent sexual risk-taking and sexual revictimisation. The subjects for this research were a sample of 520 females from the longitudinal Christchurch Health and Development Study, who were studied up to the of age 18. Data was gathered pertaining to retrospective accounts of childhood sexual abuse, sexual experiences in adolescence, and the participants' childhood and family background. The results show that young females disclosing childhood sexual abuse had higher rates of early sexual activity, teenage pregnancy, and further sexual assault. The findings also indicate that familial factors, such as poor parent-child relations, are connected with childhood sexual abuse and greater sexual risk-taking in adolescence. Limitations of the study are discussed, including the retrospective nature of the data.
