Association between child abuse exposure and the risk of psychiatric disorders: A nationwide cohort study in Taiwan.
CONCLUSIONS: In Taiwan, child abuse is associated with increased psychiatric disorder and substance abuse risk. Individuals involved in caring for abused children, including family members, pediatricians, nurses, and social workers, as well as policy makers, should be aware of this risk.
