The present study tested two mediation and moderation models, controlling for age, race, and history of physical abuse, with gender as a moderator, to determine whether PTSD symptoms serve as a risk factor and\/or mechanism in the relationship between sexual abuse and substance use. Data were examined for 197 juvenile justice\u2013involved youth (mean age = 15.45, 68.9% non-White, 78.4% male) that completed court-ordered psychological assessments. Results indicated that PTSD symptoms significantly mediated the relationship between sexual abuse and drug (\u03b2 = 3.44, confidence interval [CI] [0.26, 7.41]; test for indirect effect z = 2.41, p = .02) and alcohol use (\u03b2 = 1.42, CI [0.20, 3.46]; test for indirect effect z = 2.23, p = .03). PTSD symptoms and gender were not significant moderators. Overall, PTSD symptoms mediate the relationship between sexual abuse and SUDs in juvenile justice\u2013involved youth, which suggests viability of targeting PTSD symptoms as a modifiable risk factor to reduce the effects of sexual abuse on substance use in this high-risk population.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/1077559517745154","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,12,13]],"date-time":"2017-12-13T04:03:22Z","timestamp":1513137802000},"page":"226-233","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":19,"title":["PTSD Symptoms Mediate the Relationship Between Sexual Abuse and Substance Use Risk in Juvenile Justice\u2013Involved Youth"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"23","author":[{"given":"Jasmyn","family":"Sanders","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychology, University of Miami, Coral Gables, FL, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alexandra R.","family":"Hershberger","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychology, Indiana University\u2014Purdue University, Indianapolis, IN, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Haley M.","family":"Kolp","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychology, Ohio University, Athens, OH, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Miji","family":"Um","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychology, Indiana University\u2014Purdue University, Indianapolis, IN, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Matthew","family":"Aalsma","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Section of Adolescent Medicine, Department of Pediatrics, Indiana University School of Medicine, Indianapolis, IN, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Melissa A.","family":"Cyders","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychology, Indiana University\u2014Purdue University, Indianapolis, IN, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,12,12]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-1077559517745154","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/archpsyc.61.4.403"},{"key":"bibr2-1077559517745154","unstructured":"Achenbach T.
