Preparing Caregivers for the Child Sexual Abuse Examination: Are Informational Leaflets Helpful?
Children are typically inadequately prepared for the sexual abuse medical examination. Caregivers report lack of examination knowledge as a barrier to preparing their children. The purpose of this study was to determine if informational leaflets provided prior to the examination are helpful to caregivers in preparing their children.
