  • Title: The potential benefits of remaining in school on the long-term mental health functioning of physically and sexually abused children: beyond the academic domain.
    Author: Williams S, MacMillan H, Jamieson E.
    Journal: Am J Orthopsychiatry; 2006 Jan; 76(1):18-22. PubMed ID: 16569122.
    Abstract:
    Community-based population survey data were used to explore whether remaining in school, independent of achievement status, was associated with lower rates of psychopathology in adulthood among participants self-reporting exposure to child physical and/or sexual abuse. Remaining in school, independent of one's achievement status, was significantly associated with a lower probability of experiencing externalizing but not internalizing disorders. Theoretical and educational implications of these results are discussed.
