✦ Synopsis

This study was conducted to investigate the long-term physical health implications of sexual assault in the rape victim. Fifty-one sexual assault victims, each with 2 or more years of time elapsed since the rape, responded to a seuadministered questionnaire composed of demographics items and the Cornell Medical Index-Health Questionnaire (CMI). The victims were matched by age with a control group of 51 nonvictims. The resultsshowed nonsignificant t-test differences between the two groups in demographic factors and in two CMI scores, Past Illness Symptoms and Family Health History. However, signifcant differences resulted between the groups in perceived current health status (x2 fdf = 2, N = I021 = 11.26, p < 0.01) and in the CMI scores of Present Illness Symptoms (t = 5.51, p I O.OI), Negative Health Behaviors (t = 6.21, p I 0.01), and Female Reproductive Physioiogy Illness Symptoms (t = 6.21, p I 0.01).
