Abstract:

Child maltreatment is a public health problem and can lead to serious consequences,like involvement in sexual risk behavior (SRB). Objectives:To identify studies that evaluated the association between different types of child maltreatment and SRB in adulthood through a systematic review. Methods:The search was realized in PubMed, Web of Science, PsycNET and Lilacs databases. The inclusion criteria were: cross-sectional, cohort or case-control design; assessment of individuals who have been exposed to maltreatment by the age of 18; evaluation of SRB in adulthood. The search identified 18,951 articles, 34 of which were included in this study. The selection process was performed by two researchers independently. The systematic review was recorded in PROSPERO (CRD42019132403). Results:Studies have generally shown that sexual abuse, is a risk factor for the adoption of SRB in adulthood, however there is less evidence of this association for other forms of child abuse as domestic violence, emotional abuse and neglect. Conclusions:Child maltreatment negatively influences SRB in early adulthood. Further studies are needed to evaluate this relationship longitudinally, including the different types of abuse and the possible mechanisms of this relationship.
