Abstract

Victims of child sexual abuse (CSA) are a heterogeneous population. Several characteristics may influence the outcomes associated with this adverse childhood experience, including personal (e.g. age) and CSA characteristics (e.g. relationship to the perpetrator). This study relied on a person-centered approach to account for this heterogeneity and focused on adolescent boys, an understudied population. Data were drawn from a representative sample of high school students aged 14 to 18 years old in Quebec, Canada. A total of 3.9% (n = 138) of boys reported CSA. Various CSA characteristics (severity, relationship to the perpetrator, and number of events) were used as indicators to derive classes. A four-class solution emerged from the latent class analysis: CSA in a sports context (6%), intrafamilial CSA (8%), extrafamilial CSA (52%) and multiple CSA (34%). The multiple CSA profile included boys who were sexually abused in multiple situations by different perpetrators and who were victims of acts involving penetration. The exploration of correlates associated with class membership revealed that adolescent boys included in the multiple CSA profile were distinguished by higher rates of delinquent behaviors and alcohol and drug use. They were more likely than members of other latent classes to belong to sexual minorities. This exploratory study sheds light on sexually victimized adolescent boys and the deleterious consequences that may affect them, particularly boys who have experienced multiple CSA events. We conclude that prevention efforts should focus on the demystification of sexual trauma among boys and on using trauma-informed care approaches for adolescent externalizing behaviors.

性虐待青少年男孩的差异概况。
儿童性虐待的受害者是一个异质的群体。一些特征可能会影响与这种不良童年经历相关的结果,包括个人(如年龄)和CSA特征(如与施暴者的关系)。这项研究采用了以人为中心的方法来解释这种异质性,并将重点放在青春期男孩身上,这是一个研究不足的群体。数据来自14至18岁高中生的代表性样本 年,加拿大魁北克。共3.9%(n = 138)的男孩报告CSA。各种CSA特征(严重程度、与犯罪者的关系和事件数量)被用作推断类别的指标。潜在类别分析得出了四个类别的解决方案:运动背景下的CSA(6%)、家族内CSA(8%)、家族外CSA(52%)和多发性CSA(34%)。多重CSA档案包括在多种情况下受到不同施暴者性虐待的男孩,以及涉及渗透行为的受害者。对与班级成员相关的相关性的探索表明,纳入多重CSA档案的青春期男孩的犯罪行为率以及酗酒和吸毒率较高。他们比其他潜在阶层的成员更有可能属于性少数群体。这项探索性研究揭示了青春期男孩遭受性侵害以及可能影响他们的有害后果,尤其是经历过多次CSA事件的男孩。我们的结论是,预防工作应侧重于揭开男孩性创伤的神秘面纱,并对青少年的外化行为使用创伤知情护理方法。

期刊介绍: The Journal of Child Sexual Abuse is interdisciplinary and provides an essential interface for researchers, academicians, attorneys, clinicians, and practitioners. The journal advocates for increased networking in the sexual abuse field, greater dissemination of information and research, a higher priority for this international epidemic, and development of effective assessment, intervention, and prevention programs. Divided into sections to provide clear information, the journal covers research issues, clinical issues, legal issues, prevention programs, case studies, and brief reports, focusing on three subject groups - child and adolescent victims of sexual abuse or incest, adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse or incest, and sexual abuse or incest offenders.
