This study aimed to examine the effects of different types of maltreatment on psychiatric outcomes. The second aim was to examine patterns of comorbidity among different types of child maltreatment. Participants were randomly selected from the total birth cohort of all children born in Denmark in 1984. Data were then linked to information drawn from the Danish health and social registries. Four distinct subgroups of child maltreatment were used: no abuse; sexual abuse; emotional abuse; and co‐occurring abuse. Multivariate analysis demonstrated that all types of maltreatment were associated with psychiatric outcomes independent of other forms of adversity and parental history of psychiatric conditions. The strength of these associations was consistent for some, but not all conditions. Findings are consistent with emerging transdiagnostic models of psychopathology, which demonstrate that the risk for psychopathology appears to operate at the broad dimension level, rather than the level of specific diagnoses.

成年早期的儿童虐待和精神病学结果

这项研究旨在检查不同类型的虐待对精神病学预后的影响。第二个目标是检查不同类型的儿童虐待之间的合并症模式。从1984年在丹麦出生的所有儿童的总出生队列中随机选择参与者。然后将数据与从丹麦卫生和社会登记处获得的信息联系起来。虐待儿童分为四个不同的亚组：不虐待，不虐待，不虐待，不虐待。性虐待; 情绪虐待；并同时发生滥用行为。多变量分析表明，所有类型的虐待均与精神疾病的预后相关，而与其他形式的逆境和父母的精神病史无关。这些关联的强度在某些但不是所有情况下都是一致的。
