Abstract:
:Child sexual abuse is an important and not uncommon problem. Children who have been sexually abused may present to a physician's office, urgent care centre, or emergency department for medical evaluation. A medical evaluation can provide reassurance to both child and caregiver, identify care needs, and offer an accurate interpretation of findings to the justice and child welfare systems involved. Given the potential medico-legal implications of these assessments, the performance of a comprehensive evaluation requires both current knowledge and clinical proficiency. This position statement presents an evidence-based, trauma-informed approach to the medical evaluation of prepubertal children with suspected or confirmed sexual abuse.
