AMERICAN ACADEMY OF PEDIATRICS:
Care of the Adolescent Sexual Assault Victim
Sexual assault is a broad-based term that
encompasses a wide range of sexual victimizations, including rape.
Since the American Academy of Pediatrics published its last policy
statement on this topic in 1994, additional information and data have
emerged about sexual assault and rape in adolescents, the adolescent's
perception of sexual assault, and the treatment and management of the
adolescent who has been a victim of sexual assault. This new
information mandates an updated knowledge base for pediatricians who
care for adolescent patients. This statement provides that update, focusing on sexual assault and rape in the adolescent population.
The following policy statement is a revision:
- Care of the Adolescent Sexual Assault Victim
- and
Pediatrics 122: 462-470.[Full Text]
