     The data for this example come from a study of the effects of
     childhood sexual abuse on adult females. 45 women being treated at
     a clinic, who reported childhood sexual abuse, were measured for
     post traumatic stress disorder and childhood physical abuse both
     on standardized scales. 31 women also being treated at the same
     clinic, who did not report childhood sexual abuse were also
     measured. The full study was more complex than reported here and
     so readers interested in the subject matter should refer to the
     original article.
