dc.description.abstractChild sexual abuse is a challenging and upsetting topic, which can be difficult to navigate. In addition to supporting the child and non-offending caregiver, physicians are asked to make important clinical decisions while also satisfying reporting requirements to law enforcement and/or child protective services.
