Abstract

Childhood trauma harms individual's physical and mental health in a short- and long- term.

The results showed that the prevalence of childhood trauma was 40.8% and 31.6% individuals had one or two type's trauma. Childhood trauma effected adversarial growth significantly. The college students without trauma had higher proportion (about 40%) of adversarial growth than those with trauma (under 10%).
