    Author: Jumaian A.
    Journal: East Mediterr Health J; 2001 May; 7(3):435-40. PubMed ID: 12690764.
    Abstract:
    The prevalence of the contact form of child sexual abuse (CSA) among a sample of male college students in Jordan was examined. The relationship between CSA and adult mental health was also assessed. The experiences of 100 male college students 18-20 years of age were assessed individually with two questionnaires, the Arabic version of the General Health Questionnaire and the Arabic translation of a self-administered questionnaire for the contact form of CSA. Regarding prevalence, 27% of the students had a history of CSA before 14 years. Those who had experienced CSA had more mental health problems than those who had not.
