Abstract
⺠We examine whether childhood sexual abuse predicts injection drug use. ⺠We follow a prospective cohort of youth in Vancouver, Canada. ⺠More than one-fifth of youth report childhood sexual abuse. ⺠Abuse independently predicts risk for initiation of injection drug use. ⺠Addiction treatment should incorporate services for survivors of childhood abuse.
