…Background Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) and fibromyalgia (FM) are both highly prevalent conditions associated with extreme disability and with the development of co-morbid psychiatric disorders, such as depression and anxiety. Childhood stressors have been shown to induce persistent changes in the function of biological systems potentially relevant to the pathogenesis of both CFS and FM, […]
…The aim of this study was to develop an illustrated sexual-abuse prevention knowledge scale and to examine the knowledge of female high school students (tenth- to twelfth-graders) with intellectual disabilities studying at special education schools in Taiwan. An illustrated scale with 20 true/false items and 10 multiple-choice items was developed to assess the participants’ relevant […]

…Individuals with special needs are at an increased risk for sexual assault during childhood as compared to their typically developing peers (Mahoney and Poling in J Dev Phys Disabil 23(4):369-376, 2011). Developmental delays across domains may influence the likelihood of sexual abuse. For example, motor delays may limit un/dressing and other self-care tasks, social delays […]
