Abstract: Childhood sexual abuse (CSA) is a prevalent problem with research indicating children and adolescents who experience sexual abuse are more vulnerable to negative life outcomes than those without such experience. Research has demonstrated associations of CSA with a range of negative outcomes, such as mental healthproblems, drug and alcohol abuse, suicide, self-harming, poor education attainment, poor partner relationships, physical health dysfunctions, and unstable employment.
