Drawing on previous work, we utilized the Family Practice Questionnaire, Version VII in a current sample of largely, Hispanic college students. One thousand and sixty-one (N = 1,061) students from a large Hispanic Serving Institute in the southeastern U.S. served as participants. Results found variation in the perceptions of family practices (e.g. hygiene, affection, and privacy behaviors), with participants endorsing some behaviors as inappropriate at any ages, particularly if the behavior revolved around nudity. Similar to previous research, some significant gender differences in behaviors were found where older sisters were often thought to be able to engage in certain behaviors with younger siblings (both male and female) longer than older brothers. Likewise, significant differences were found as a factor of participant gender and racial-ethnic identity for some behaviors, suggesting that these variables may influence perceptions on what behaviors are appropriate. These results have implications for family health discussions with physicians and other health professionals involved in child and family care in order to ensure that children are protected.","PeriodicalId":47645,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Child Sexual Abuse","volume":" ","pages":"267-288"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2026-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147718322","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study also explores the diversity of HSB offenses, focusing on whether individuals engaged exclusively in contact HSB, exclusively in non-contact HSB, or a mixture of both. Background and HSB data were collected from 88 youths between the ages of nine and 19 years old. This information was collected through referrals made to the Interventions for Vulnerable Youth (IVY) project, a Scottish Government-funded service, between October 2020 and November 2023. The results of this study show that youths who engaged in mixed HSB more often targeted a range of victim age groups (children and adults) as well as a mixture of male and female victims. However, there were several shared characteristics between contact, non-contact, and mixed HSB groups. These included experiences of insecure (disrupted) attachment, previous school behavioral issues, use of online pornographic material, and previous histories of demonstrating non-sexual violence. Each of these characteristics were also found to significantly contributed toward HSB escalating from non-contact to contact offenses. These findings reveal clear risk factors that link different types of HSB to the specific developmental pathways of offending over time.","PeriodicalId":47645,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Child Sexual Abuse","volume":" ","pages":"377-398"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2026-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147983778","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For children and young people who have displayed HSB, promoting safety and wellbeing across developmental timeframes is critical. Although substantial knowledge and guidance exists on risk assessment and safety management, there is limited guidance on how to develop detailed safety plans within out-of-home care (OOHC) contexts. This scoping review aimed to inform the development of short- and long-term safety plans for children and young people in OOHC following HSB. Sixteen peer-reviewed papers and practice or policy guides exploring HSB in the OOHC context that included commentary on safety were reviewed. Although the search strategy spanned multiple countries, most of the eligible studies were from the United Kingdom (UK), Scotland, and Australia. A reflexive thematic approach identified three main themes: enhancing acute short-term safety, enhancing long-term safety and building strengths, and key principles/processes to consider for safety planning. Findings highlight multiple domains relevant to safety planning, including interpersonal relationships, cultural connection, social media use, and placement dynamics. The results indicate that safety planning should be collaborative and involve children and young people. The literature further emphasized the importance of relational, organizational and systemic context alongside individual behavior. While this review identifies core considerations for safety planning following HSB in OOHC, geographical limitations should be considered when applying the findings to other international settings. Future research is needed to evaluate the effectiveness of safety planning approaches and their contribution to safety and wellbeing over time.","PeriodicalId":47645,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Child Sexual Abuse","volume":" ","pages":"353-376"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2026-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147327678","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Bisexual+ women experience higher rates of PTSD compared to heterosexual and lesbian/gay people. The PTSD Checklist for DSM-5 (PCL-5) is a widely used self-report measure of PTSD symptoms. We conducted an item response theory (IRT) analysis to evaluate the item difficulty and discrimination of PCL-5 items in assessing PTSD symptoms related to adult SV among young bisexual+ women. We combined two samples of women: sample 1 participants were recruited via MTurk (N = 267; Mage = 25.9, range 18-35; 82.4% White) and sample 2 participants recruited via online ads (N = 133; Mage = 22.0, range 18-25, 85.0% White). Item difficulty and discrimination was evaluated using IRT with a graded response model. At clinically significant levels of PTSD, the most discriminating items were: flashbacks, nightmares, reckless behavior, inability to experience positive emotions, and intrusive memories, whereas the least discriminating items were: internal avoidance, hypervigilance, difficulty with sleep, external avoidance, and exaggerated startle response. The most difficult items were: reckless behavior, flashbacks, traumatic amnesia, nightmares, and irritability, whereas the least difficult items were: internal avoidance, cued emotional distress, external avoidance, hypervigilance, and strong negative emotions. Results suggest that symptoms related to flashbacks, nightmares, and reckless behavior are important for assessing clinically significant SV-related PTSD symptoms among young bisexual+ women, whereas symptoms related to internal and external avoidance and hypervigilance may be relatively less informative.","PeriodicalId":47645,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Child Sexual Abuse","volume":" ","pages":"1-21"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2026-03-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147500180","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Likewise, professionals interacting with these youth may have little guidance on how to identify risk or respond when trafficking concerns are detected. This study describes the development, feasibility, acceptability, utility, and outcomes of the See It to Stop It Indicator (SITSII) tool for middle school staff (MSS), developed as part of a Cluster Randomized Control Trial of a bystander intervention, to prevent child sex trafficking (CST) in students. The SITSII contains 17 items categorized into three tiers of concern (Probable Concern Tier 3; Potential Concern Tier 2; Emerging Concern Tier 1) that map onto bystander actions based on a risk stratification model. Mixed-method data from 63 MSS were analyzed to determine screening outcomes, intentions to act, barriers to action, and assessments of feasibility, acceptability, and utility. Outcomes indicate that running away (Tier 3) and truancy (Tier 2), followed by a history of child maltreatment (Tier 2), were the most prevalent student behaviors, while 21% had no identifiable risk factors. This suggests a lack of bias toward over- or under-identification. Users rated the acceptability and utility of the tool favorably, and 91.5% endorsed confidence in taking the recommended bystander actions. The SITSII establishes a continuum of risk factors for CST that map onto actionable items. There is evidence of successful SITSII implementation as well as enhanced confidence in intent-to-act to protect identified students.","PeriodicalId":47645,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Child Sexual Abuse","volume":" ","pages":"1-21"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2026-03-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13140772/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147379228","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

P2 participants (N = 27), were queried about perceptions of specific SA risks for Black college women, and later (P3) provided feedback on how investigators had summarized these findings. P2 thematic analysis revealed themes both consistent with and distinct from prior college SA literature. Specifically, like White women, Black college women report risks around alcohol use and hookups. Dissimilarly, they emphasized pressures - both internal and external - in committed sexual relationships and described experiences of racialized objectification and perceived hypersexuality. Findings highlight racialized ways that men sexually objectify and pressure Black college women to engage in sexual activities, as well as women's internal struggles regarding sexual decisions.

The relationship between the victim and the sex of the victim can impact bystander intervention during sexual violence. As such, the present study examines how the presence of certain types of bystanders (e.g. friends) during sexual harassment influences the likelihood of bystander intervention, and whether the gender of the victim moderates this relationship. Participants included 724 college students (78.9% female; 82.9% White; 89.4% heterosexual) ages 18 to 24 (Mage = 18.97, SDage = 1.12) who reported at least one experience of sexual harassment, the presence of a witness during sexual harassment, and indicated whether a bystander intervened. Two binomial linear regressions were conducted. Friends were less likely to intervene than roommates or family, but more likely than acquaintances or strangers. Although gender moderation was not supported, male victims reported that bystanders were less likely to intervene compared to bystanders of female victims. Consistent with previous work, the odds of bystander intervention are significantly related to the context in which sexual harassment occurs. Family members and roommates may feel a stronger sense of responsibility to intervene due to their closeness to the victim compared to other bystander types. Men who experienced sexual harassment were less likely to report bystander intervention during sexual harassment than women, which suggests barriers to helping behavior. Implications for bystander programming, clinical work, and future research are discussed.","PeriodicalId":47645,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Child Sexual Abuse","volume":" ","pages":"1-18"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2026-03-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147366973","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Sexual satisfaction defined as the sense of positive emotions and fulfillment derived from sexual encounters. Related to sexual satisfaction, the ability to establish and seek consent is thought to play a critical role in promoting sexual satisfaction. Conversely, a lack of perceived behavioral control to engage in consent behaviors may compound the adverse effects of sexual assault on sexual satisfaction. Despite these potential connections, limited research has explored the interaction between sexual assault, lack of perceived behavioral control, and sexual satisfaction, thus, the current study aims to address these gaps in the literature. Our study utilized an anonymous, online survey where participants (N = 405) reported the severity of past-year sexual assault and lifetime sexual assault, sexual satisfaction, and lack of perceived behavioral control to seek consent in sexual situations. Moderation analyses revealed that sexual assault in the past-year impacted the relationship between perceived behavioral control and sexual satisfaction, where higher levels of perceived control led to higher levels of satisfaction when the sexual assault was less severe. Examining the interaction between sexual assault and perceived behavioral control offers insight into additional factors that influence sexual well-being among survivors, offering valuable insights for identifying treatment targets. Additionally, this may inform future research to investigate how risk reduction programs that bolster protective behavioral strategies to prevent victimization and build sexual assertiveness skills enhanced perceived control and consent behaviors.","PeriodicalId":47645,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Child Sexual Abuse","volume":" ","pages":"1-18"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2026-02-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146214439","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The online CST engaged-bystander training will be offered to consenting middle school staff within intervention counties. Middle school staff in control counties will also receive online training focused solely on CST identification, referral, and reporting. To evaluate the effectiveness of the intervention versus control, consenting participants will be asked to complete pre- and post-training surveys, their assigned training, and follow-up surveys. Outcome measures include knowledge, attitudes, willingness, and self-efficacy to reduce CST by actions to identify children at risk, make referrals, and report CST. Implementing CST prevention and intervention training is anticipated to increase actions taken to reduce CST risk in intervention versus control counties.
