Consequences of Childhood Sexual Assault in Girls
![142nd APHA Annual Meeting and Exposition (November 15 - November 19, 2014): http://www.apha.org/events-and-meetings/annual](images/banner.jpg)
Method: A secondary data analysis of the 2013 Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS) will be completed to explore the consequences of CSA on girls. The YRBS presents a representative sample of students in high school throughout the U.S. Questions from the YRBS will be used to examine the relationship among the different variables (ex: child sexual assault, depression, alcohol use, and promiscuous sexual behavior).
Results: The data from the 2011 YRBS is available; however, the data presented for this project will be based on the 2013 YRBS. The results of the 2013 survey will be available in the June 2014.
Conclusion: When data analysis is complete, we hope to find evidence supporting a relationship between CSA and risky behaviors. With this information, nurses will be able to better assess and identify those most at risk, allowing for early intervention.
