- Title
The Reliability of Traumatic and Adverse Experiences—Reply.
- Authors
Danese, Andrea; Widom, Cathy Spatz
- Abstract
The text is a response to a study on the reliability of traumatic and adverse experiences. The study found low reliability in the long-term subjective reports of abuse among individuals who had experienced childhood maltreatment. The response letter highlights the issue of forgetting or nondisclosure of trauma and suggests that the study may not be able to distinguish between the two. The letter also points out discrepancies in participant numbers and raises concerns about attrition and its impact on the study's conclusions. The authors of the study respond by clarifying certain points and acknowledging the limitations of their research. They explain that their focus was on the associations between objective and subjective measures of childhood maltreatment and later emotional disorders, rather than on measure agreement. They also address the issue of underdiagnosis and its potential impact on the estimated mortality risk associated with hypochondriasis.
