Abstract
We examined associations between sexual abuse and current mental health by age and race for 74,140 adults from the 2011-2012 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System. Current mental health varied by age, sexual abuse, and race/ethnicity. Differences declined with age between those who reported sexual abuse and those who did not.
