Note.—N = 2,956, CFI = .972, RMSEA = .023. Latent classes are (1) abuse (physical or emotional) perpetrated by mother; (2) abuse perpetrated by father; (3) abuse perpetrated by other person; (4) abuse perpetrated by mother, father, sibling, and other person; (5) family/structural strain; and (6) a nonexposure group (reference group).
