This clinical report serves to update the statement titled "Guidelines for the Evaluation of Sexual Abuse of Children," which was first published in 1991 and revised in 1999.

The role of the physician may include determining the need to report sexual abuse; assessment of the physical, emotional, and behavioral consequences of sexual abuse; and coordination with other professionals to provide comprehensive treatment and follow-up of victims.

Key Words: child sexual abuse • sexually transmitted diseases • medical assessment

Abbreviations: AAP, American Academy of Pediatrics • STDs, sexually transmitted disease
