In a model with only measurement error, CSA explained 9.6% of MD. Including four key covariates reduced the variance explained to 5.3%, with the largest effects found for parental loss and low parental warmth. Adding the effect of mood-congruent recall to a final well-fitting model reduced the percentage of variance explained in lifetime MD (LTMD) by CSA to 4.4%. In this model, current depressive symptoms significantly predicted recall of CSA.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S0033291713001797_sec_a4\" sec-type=\"conclusion\"><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>In a model correcting for measurement error, confounding and the impact of mood-congruent recall, CSA remains substantially associated with the risk for LTMD in women. These findings strongly suggest, but do not prove, that this association is causal, and are consistent with previous results in this sample using a co-twin control design, but also indicate that more than half of the uncorrected CSA\u2013MD association is probably not causal. Traumatic life experiences contribute substantially to the risk for LTMD.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1017\/s0033291713001797","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,8,13]],"date-time":"2013-08-13T14:00:54Z","timestamp":1376402454000},"page":"1213-1221","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":34,"title":["Clarifying the causal relationship in women between childhood sexual abuse and lifetime major depression"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"44","author":[{"given":"K.
