Estes participantes tambem identificaram ter pais divorciados ( M = .313, DP = .465), [ F (1,257) = 22.16, p=.000], terem sido expostos a padrao de abuso de substâncias por parte dos progenitores ( M= .313, DP = .465), [ F (1,257) = 22.16, p< .001], e historial de doenca mental na familia (M =.207, DP = .303), [F (1,257) = 12.32, p= .001].

Exposure to interparental violence may include several types of violence perpetrated by one member of the couple, to which children may be exposed. Furthermore, other types of adverse experiences are often present in the lives of these youth. The main objective of this study was to analyze the relationship between exposure to interparental violence and the co-occurrence of other adverse experiences during childhood. The sample was composed of 259 Portuguese participants, aged between 18 and 68 years ( M= 38.67, SD =12.93), and 147 of them reported having witnessed interparental violence. Participants responded to an online protocol with a sociodemographic questionnaire and the Adverse Childhood Experiences . This research showed that participants who reported interparental violence, suffered from emotional abuse ( M =.074, DP = .176), [F (1,257) = 8.54, p = .004] and sexual abuse ( M = .091, DP = .219), [ F (1,257) = 5.38, p= .021]. They also identified having divorced parents ( M = .313, DP = .465), [F (1,257) = 22.16, p < .001], having been exposed substance abuse by their parents ( M = .313, DP = .465), [F (1,257) = 22.16, p =.000], and mental illness in a family member ( M =.207, DP = .303), [ F ( 1,257) = 12.32, p = .001]. The findings of this study highlight the importance of exploring this problem in the Portuguese population to identify its repercussions in adulthood.
