Abstract
This study adds to the literature on child sexual abuse victimization and disclosure
rates in addition to identifying factors that can be used to determine a child’s risk level
for subsequent referrals. If the highest-risk children are identified and interventions are
provided to mitigate risk, the need for subsequent referrals may decrease. The
implications for CACs are discussed as well as techniques which have been developed
and show promise at assisting children to disclose abuse (e.g., extended forensic
interviews)
