To the Editor Over the years, several researchers have examined the sequelae of unwanted sexual encounters resulting from the harmful perception that women and children are 鈥渨eaker鈥� individuals compared with men and adults. Given this, and although the efforts by Thurston and colleagues¹ to promote women鈥檚 health are indeed commendable, we believe the influences of power and trauma should be extrapolated to include children as well. The terms sexual harassment and sexual assault are often applied to adult-dominated settings (ie, the workplace or higher education), and thus inherently overlook traumatic events, such as sexual abuse, endured by children. As a result, when considering Thurston and colleagues鈥� findings regarding women鈥檚 health, one should also incorporate the conclusions by Felitti and colleagues² regarding children鈥檚 health to better understand the associations between power, trauma, and well-being.
