This is a follow-up study (Time 2) of young adults who were initially studied during their adolescence (Time 1) soon after they were documented as physically abused. The original (T1) study represents the first controlled study of the mental health of physically abused adolescents who were not referred for treatment. It was, and remains, unusual for its focus on adolescent abuse victims, inclusion of middle- class subjects, and comprehensive systematic investigation of adolescent psychiatric disorders and behavioral functioning. Subjects for the follow-up study will be drawn from the original (T1) study group of 99 adolescents who were confirmed as physically abused by the Departments of Social Services in the suburban New York counties of Nassau and Suffolk between 1989 and 1991, and 99 non- abused comparison subjects matched for community. Physical abuse has been associated with poor outcomes in multiple domains of adolescent and adult functioning. Therefore, subjects' young adult (T2) psycho-asocial functioning in the domains of Internalizing/Emotional Functioning and Interpersonal Functioning/Aggressive Behavior will be examined. Based on an ecological framework, Individual, Interpersonal, and Contextual variables measured in adolescence and hypothesized to have a role in determining resilient as well as poor outcomes will be examined. A model is offered that will examine the path from contextual risk factors to physical abuse and exposure to domestic, which influence young adult psycho-social outcome through adolescent individual and interpersonal mediating variables. Studies such as this will be important in deciding the timing and focus of preventive and rehabilitative interventions for physically abused youth, and for young adults who were physically abused as adolescents.

这是一项后续研究（时间2）的年轻人，他们在青春期（时间1）最初被研究后不久被记录为身体虐待。最初的（T1）研究代表了未转介治疗的受虐待青少年的心理健康的首次对照研究。这是并且仍然是不寻常的，因为它专注于青少年虐待受害者，包括中产阶级受试者以及对青少年精神疾病和行为功能的全面系统调查。后续研究的受试者将从99名青少年的原始研究小组中得出，他们在1989年至1991年之间在纳索州郊区和萨福克郡的社会服务部门确认为物理虐待，以及99名非虐待比较受试者与社区相匹配。身体虐待与青少年和成人功能的多个领域的结果不佳有关。因此，将检查受试者的年轻成年人（T2）心理社会功能在内部化/情感功能和人际功能/攻击行为的领域。将基于在青春期测得的生态框架，个人，人际关系和上下文变量，并假设在确定弹性和差的结果中起作用。提供了一个模型，该模型将检查从上下文风险因素到身体虐待和暴露于国内的路径，这会通过青少年的个人和人际中介变量影响年轻的成人心理社会社会成果。诸如此类的研究对于确定对身体受虐待的年轻人的预防和康复干预的时机和重点很重要，对于被虐待为青少年的年轻人。
