儿童期性虐待是一个全球性的公共卫生问题，但往往未得到充分报告，特别是在萨尔瓦多等低收入国家，因此需要采取预防措施。这项研究的目的是审查知识，态度和预防性虐待儿童的经验和特点有关的更多的知识和开放性，从事萨尔瓦多父母之间的虐待儿童的预防。萨尔瓦多的父母（N = 478）完成了问卷调查，人口统计学，虐待儿童的定义和体征和症状，CSA的个人经验，CSA预防培训，知识，态度和做法，防止CSA。大多数家长了解CSA，将预防CSA视为自己的责任，并与孩子谈论CSA，尽管65.7%的人错误地认为孩子更容易受到陌生人的虐待。收入较低的父母对CSA预防的知识和意愿较低。CSA方案需要让家长参与，特别是针对低收入家长。
Childhood sexual abuse (CSA), a global public health problem, is often underreported especially in low-income countries such as El Salvador, and prevention efforts are needed. The purpose of this study was to examine knowledge, attitudes and experiences of CSA prevention and characteristics related to greater knowledge and openness to engaging in child abuse prevention among Salvadoran parents. Salvadoran parents (N = 478) completed questionnaires regarding demographics, definition and signs and symptoms of child abuse, personal experiences of CSA, CSA prevention training, and knowledge, attitudes and practices about preventing CSA. Most parents were knowledgeable about CSA, viewed CSA prevention as their responsibility, and had talked with their children about CSA, although 65.7% incorrectly believed that children are more likely to be abused by strangers. Parents with lower income were less knowledgeable and willing to participate in CSA prevention. CSA programing needs to involve parents and specifically target low-income parents.
