N2  - Child sexual abuse is a serious problem that has received increased attention in recent years. Many prevention programs have been developed in the past decade, with the goal of preparing children to resist and report the sexual advances of potential abusers. Home- and school-based programs have presented sexual abuse prevention information in a variety of ways, including films, theatrical presentations, books, lectures, and behavioral skills training. Although many programs are available, relatively few have been empirically evaluated. <br><br>RESULTS of program evaluations have shown that behavioral skills training packages are the most effective method of teaching self-protection skills and that gains are often maintained over time. Important issues, such as the difficulty in assessing sexual abuse prevention skills, are discussed and directions for future research are suggested.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
