What this research studies
This research aims to develop new strategies to prevent recurrent child sexual abuse (CSA) by understanding its causes and creating effective prevention models within child welfare systems. The project will utilize a mixed methods approach, combining data science and qualitative research to analyze cases of CSA from 2013 to 2021. By collaborating with local child advocacy centers and human services, the research team will create a comprehensive dataset to inform prevention efforts and integrate insights from various stakeholders involved in child welfare.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this research include children aged 0-11 who have been identified as at risk for recurrent child sexual abuse.
Not a fit: Patients who are older than 11 years or who have not experienced any form of child sexual abuse may not benefit from this research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could significantly reduce the incidence of recurrent child sexual abuse, improving the safety and wellbeing of children.
How similar studies have performed: While there has been research on child sexual abuse prevention, this specific approach focusing on recurrent cases and integrating multiple systems is relatively novel.
