CLINICAL REPORT

Care of the Adolescent Sexual Assault Victim

Miriam Kaufman, MD and the Committee on Adolescence

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 sexual assault in 2001, additional information and data have emerged about sexual assault and rape in adolescents and the treatment and management of the adolescent who has been a victim of sexual assault. This report provides new information to update physicians and focuses on assessment and care of sexual assault victims in the adolescent population.

Key Words: sexual assault • victim • victimization • adolescent • violence • dating violence

Abbreviations: GHB—{gamma}-hydroxybutyrate • STI—sexually transmitted infection • NAAT—nucleic acid–amplification test
