Descriptive and inferential statistics are weighted to reflect the demographic characteristics of the Cook County Juvenile Temporary Detention Center. Data are self-report because official records of sexual abuse with force were unavailable.

Assessed on the n=895 participants who were assessed for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Any disorder includes any anxiety disorder, any affective disorder, attention-deficit/hyperactivity (ADHD) or any disruptive behavior disorder, any substance use disorder, and any psychosis. Specific prevalence rates of any psychosis are not presented because only 17 participants had this diagnosis.

Any affective disorder includes major depressive episode, manic episode, hypomania, and dysthymic disorder.
