Differential associations between childhood trauma subtypes and adolescent HPA-axis functioning

Highlights • We characterized the relationship between trauma subtypes to HPA-axis functioning. • We examined three common indices of HPA-axis functioning. • Non-intentional trauma predicted elevated cortisol at bedtime. • Physical abuse was associated with faster reactivity to acute stress. • Emoti...

Description
Summary:Highlights • We characterized the relationship between trauma subtypes to HPA-axis functioning. • We examined three common indices of HPA-axis functioning. • Non-intentional trauma predicted elevated cortisol at bedtime. • Physical abuse was associated with faster reactivity to acute stress. • Emotional abuse predicted delayed recovery of cortisol following acute stress.
