The relationship is established through empirical studies examining the impact of childhood trauma on mental health, specifically finding no statistically significant correlation among BOUESTI students as detailed in [1], [2], and [3]. Furthermore, [4] provides descriptive statistics for both variables within the same study population, while [5] contextualizes the lack of a universal causal link between these two concepts.
