520 _aThis paper presents a summary of the results of a community study that examined the long-term negative effects of physical, emotional and sexual abuse of children in adult life, in particular looking at mental heath, interpersonal relationships, and sexual problems. The study was conducted in two parts. Firstly, a postal questionnaire was sent to 2,250 randomly selected women in Dunedin. Secondly, 298 women, under the age of 65, who had indicated on their questionnaire that they had experienced "unwanted sexual advances", were interviewed. Interviews took place over a 14-month period during 1989 and 1990, and participants were asked about family factors (such as family structure, relationships, discipline, and violence), and were also required to complete the Parental Bonding Instrument, which measures emotional deprivation during childhood. The results of the study support that women who have reported being exposed to some form of childhood abuse (sexual, physical or emotional) were more likely to have mental health issues (such as eating disorders, depression, low self-esteem, or suicidal behaviours), interpersonal, and sexual problems (early pregnancies) in adult life.
