Rueness J, et al. - Experts aspired to explore if adolescents who had recently disclosed sexual abuse or family violence displayed more psychological trauma symptoms and physical health complaints than unaffected controls, as well as examined to what degree physical health complaints were correlated with trauma symptoms in these abuse victims. Abuse, trauma symptoms, and physical health complaints were evaluated during face-to-face interviews with 40 victims of sexual abuse and 35 victims of family violence aged 10-18. From October 2016 to November 2018, they had all attended forensic interviews at the Barnehus in Oslo, a specialized Norwegian police unit where evidence is gathered in adolescent-friendly surroundings. Compared with unaffected controls, sexually abused adolescents showed higher levels of posttraumatic stress reactions, depression, dissociation, and physical health complaints. Family violence victims showed higher levels of posttraumatic stress reactions. Trauma symptoms were associated with physical health complaints and these were most prominent in adolescents with the highest burden of symptoms. Symptoms of trauma were associated with physical health problems and these were most common among adolescents with the highest symptom burden. Clinical examinations of abused adolescents should include a systematic assessment of trauma symptoms and physical health complaints based on the high burden of symptoms reported.
