In a survey of 1,419 Ontario high school students, the third who reported childhood maltreatment were at much higher risk of adjustment problems, with a different pattern by sex: maltreated girls had far more emotional distress, delinquency and weapon carrying, and maltreated boys had more depression, posttraumatic stress and dissociation and were more likely to threaten or physically abuse dating partners.
