Overview

Retrospective observational study reveals patterns of abuse and demographics in survivors and perpetrators, indicating critical barriers to therapy.

Key Points

  • Most survivors reported their first assault occurred at a mean age of 9.48 years, highlighting the early onset of abuse.
  • The abuse duration averaged 5.07 years, with earlier onset correlating negatively with the duration of abuse experienced by survivors.
  • Analysis involved archival data from 2,516 survivors, utilizing descriptive and inferential statistics to identify key trends.
  • The delayed therapy-seeking behavior averaged 13.9 years, showing significant differences between genders in accessing support.
