Abstract
The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between childhood experiences of violence and health- or life-threatening high-risk behaviors among Polish adolescents. The studied group consisted of 14-18 year old patients from several Polish centers treating young people with high-risk behaviors. Early Trauma Inventory (ETI) and the Scale of Healthy Behaviors were used in the study. Results: Young people after suicidal attempts and with substance abuse reported predominantly experiences of physical violence in childhood. Adolescents with eating disorders had experienced emotional and sexual violence.
