title = "Exploration of affirmation of childhood molestation (sexual abuse) in chronic pain patients, acute pain patients, community patients with pain and community nonpatients without pain",
abstract = "Objectives: To further explore the controversy as to whether childhood molestation is associated with chronic pain in adulthood. Design: Community nonpatients without pain (CNPWP), community patients with pain (CPWP), acute pain patients (APPs), and chronic pain patients (CPPs) were compared for endorsement of affirmation of childhood molestation by chi-square. Logistic regression was utilized to predict affirmation in male and female CPPs. Results: A significantly higher percentage of male APPs affirmed molestation versus CNPWP and CPWP. No other comparisons were statistically significant for males. For females, no comparisons were significant. For male CPPs, the behavior health inventory-2 (BHI-2) survivor of violence scale and 1 item from this scale predicted affirmation. The following BHI-2 scales and items predicted affirmation for female CPPs: muscular bracing and survivor of violence scales; the item {"}I have been a victim of many sexual attacks{"}, and the item {"}My father was kind and loving to me when I was growing up{"} (scored opposite direction). Conclusions: In female PWCP, the prevalence of childhood molestation is not greater than in a number of unique comparison groups. Unique predictors of childhood molestation are yet to be identified.",

note = "Funding Information: Disclosures: This study was conducted without any external funding or support. This study was conducted on a data pool of items/questions from a previous study funded and supported by Pearson Assessments. Drs Bruns and Disorbio were involved in that study, but were not reimbursed for their participation. The Battery for Health Improvement 2 (BHI 2) was developed from this data pool. Pearson Assessments had no role in the design or statistical analysis of this study, which was initiated by the authors in a reanalysis specifically designed for the current study and was initiated after the BHI 2 had been developed. Dr Bruns and Dr Disorbio are compensated as BHI 2 authors. Drs Fishbain, Lewis, Gao, and Meyer did not have access to the data pool until after the BHI 2 had been developed, at which time the data were made available to them for study. None of the authors were compensated in any way for their analysis of items from the data pool or development of the manuscript, and none are stockholders of Pearson Assessments. Drs Fishbain, Lewis, Gao, and Meyer are not compensated in any way through the BHI 2 and were also not involved in any way in the development of the BHI 2. ",
