Abstract
- Yapp et al.[[8]] used a latent class analysis to examine the sex differences in experiences of multiple traumas and mental health problems using data from a very large (UK biobank) cohort of 157,358 participants. Finally, authors here and elsewhere [[5]] highlight that while there are many opportunities to prevent abuse during the life course, addressing societal inequalities [[5]] including syndemic intersections [[13]] is a political imperative that will reduce not only violence and abuse but also ultimately improve population mental health. Participants reporting multiple types of trauma and sexual violence and abuse were more likely to report symptoms of current and recent mental health problems. It is well established that violence and abuse, both in childhood and/or adulthood, have profound impacts on mental and physical health, and that the commonest form - domestic violence and abuse (DVA) - is experienced disproportionately by women, particularly young women.
