How Children Perceive the Medical Evaluation for Suspected Sexual Abuse.

Lazebnik, Rina; And Others

Child Abuse & Neglect: The International Journal, v18 n9 p739-45 Sep 1994

This study investigated how 99 children who were examined for suspected sexual abuse (SSA) perceived their own medical evaluation experiences. Although most children did not perceive their SSA examination to be strongly negative, they did report greater fear than for an ordinary doctor visit. (Author/DB)
