This study examined the correlates of four types of adverse experiences with a large sample (N = 17,465) of adolescents from a midwestern county. The four types of adverse experience were physical abuse, sexual abuse, witnessing the physical abuse of another person, and harassment by peers at school. The three outcomes of interest were binge drinking, self-reported grade point average (GPA), and feelings of sadness and depression. Of interest was whether each type of adversity was related to the three outcomes when the other types of adversity were controlled. Among both males and females, physical abuse, sexual abuse, and witnessing physical abuse were associated with binge drinking, feelings of sadness and depression, and lower GPA, whereas harassment by peers was associated with feelings of sadness and depression.
