The prevalence of child sexual abuse in community and student samples: A meta-analysis
Abstract
Background Studies conducted internationally confirm that child sexual abuse is a much more widespread problem than previously thought, with even the lowest prevalence rates including a large number of victims that need to be taken into account.Objective To carry out a meta-analysis of the prevalence of child sexual abuse in order to establish an overall international figure.Methods Studies were retrieved from various electronic databases. The measure of interest was the prevalence of abuse reported in each article, these values being combined via a random effects model. A detailed analysis was conducted of the effects of various moderator variables.Results Sixty-five articles covering 22 countries were included. The analysis showed that 7.9% of men (7.4% without outliers) and 19.7% of women (19.2% without outliers) had suffered some form of sexual abuse prior to the age of eighteen.Conclusions The results of the present meta-analysis indicate that child sexual abuse is a serious problem in the countries analysed.

“While most child sexual abuse prevalence studies show that more females are victims of sexual abuse than males (Stoltenborgh et al., 2011; Pereda et al., 2009; Barth et al., 2012), research emerging in Southeast Asia (Chiang et al., 2016; Choo et al., 2011) are showing more male sexual victimization.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
