Objective: The present research tested the hypothesis that maternal care moderates the relationship between childhood sexual abuse and subsequent military sexual trauma (MST).
Based upon research indicating that Veterans who had experienced child sexual abuse were at higher risk for military sexual trauma (MST), this study seeks to discover whether maternal care serves as a protective factor in that association.
Background: We sought to determine the pregnancy rate of U.S. military-dependent adolescents enrolled in the military healthcare system.
