    Since most of the studies on risk-factors for emotional maltreatment has been done in an American setting the aim of this study was to investigate risk-factors for emotional abuse in a sample of Swedish adolescents. Data was collected in a classroom setting from 1520 students concerning sociodemographics, neighbourhood-factors and emotional maltreatment. Emotional maltreatment was measured using the Swedish version of the CTQ-SF. Correlations was calculated and a linear regression analysis performed. The results show an association between the investigated variables and emotional maltreatment in line with international studies. The implications of the results are discussed using the family stress model and the transactional-ecological model.
