The study's participants were a subset of 357 primiparous women interviewed at 28 to 32 weeks' gestation between the fall of 1990 and early 1992.  At the time of the initial interview, almost 35% of the women reported sexual abuse before age 18.  In 1995 and 1996, 265 women, 74% of the original sample, were re-interviewed when their children were between two and fours years old.  In this sample 40% of the respondents had been identified as sexually abused in the first study. In the follow-up interview,  variables measuring parenting outcomes included: child-rearing competence, satisfaction, and efficacy; parenting stress; discipline practices; and family functioning.  Variables measuring possible mediating factors between a history of sexual abuse and parenting practices included: education, occupation, income, family structure; current physical and mental health parameters, particularly depressive symptomatology; perceived current stresses unrelated to parenting; current family violence or sexual victimization; and parental sense of mastery.  The data file distributed for this study contains 265 cases and 556 variables.\n\nInvestigators: Benedict, Mary", "distribution": [{"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "description": "Access the complete Parenting Among Women Sexually Abused in Childhood on the official website.", "downloadURL": "https://www.ndacan.acf.hhs.gov/datasets/dataset-details.cfm?ID=85", "mediaType": "text/html", "title": "Official Data Source"}], "identifier": "https://healthdata.gov/api/views/3sjb-sx47", "issued": "2025-09-05", "keyword": ["abuse", "care", "ndacan", "policy", "reporting"], "landingPage": "https://healthdata.gov/d/3sjb-sx47", "modified": "2025-09-05", "programCode": ["009:094"], "publisher": {"@type": "org:Organization", "name": "National Data Archive on Child Abuse and Neglect"}, "theme": ["ACF"], "title": "Parenting Among Women Sexually Abused in Childhood"}
