RE: Incidence of diseases in male survivors of csa

["Hill, Sean" <shill@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

As outlined, the proposed study would do well to look at types/degrees of
abuse history and any GI comorbidity/variances.  I assumed that the study
*was* intended to get at the psychological trauma-effects of abuse viz a viz
the digestive system (irritable bowel and the like).   I am quite sure there
is literature out there on all manner of trauma (hostages, accidents,
torture) and the incidence of somatic after-effects.

 I think the study would miss a lot of their GI problems if the questions
were limited to only anal sex. As an MD, we see rampant GI problems in
patients (children/adults) with histories of abuse .  So I think Randy's
point would be well taken in the context: Does anal sex, above and beyond
other forms of maltreatment predict GI disorders (controlling for other
important variables including psychiatric disorders, stressors)?  I think
the stress/trauma he mentions
