“…In our study, the ITS (24 items) demonstrated strong internal consistency ( α = 0.791), while the ATS (9 items) exhibited slightly lower reliability ( α = 0.712). This level of reliability is considered acceptable and aligns with findings in other studies [ 11 , 46 , 50 ].…”

“…Overall, the participation in the Doll program significantly enhanced children’s grasp of CSA prevention knowledge, particularly regarding inappropriate touching. These outcomes align with prior studies that assessed CSA programs using the CKAQ-RIII [ 16 , 45 , 46 ].…”

“…ITS focuses on encompassing different touch types and encouraging children to communicate discomfort. The reliability of ITS and ATS within the CKAQ-RIII scale has been demonstrated in studies using either partial or full versions, including non-English speaking samples [16,17,41], [44][45][46][47][48][49]. This substantiates the CKAQ-RIII as a robust tool for evaluating children's knowledge of sexual abuse prevention, supporting its application in both research and practical contexts.…”

“…Additionally, it is essential to refrain from assuming a direct link between improved knowledge, evaluated through the CKAQ-RIII, and subsequent behavioral changes leading to a reduction in the risk of CSA for participants [ 4 , 46 , 52 , 53 ]. While there is a common assumption that increased knowledge and skills correspond to behavioral changes in real-life scenarios [ 54 ], evidence supporting the preventive impact of knowledge acquisition on sexual abuse is lacking [ 55 ].…”

Objective: In countries with conservative attitudes towards sex and limited resources to prevent child sexual abuse, culturally adapted CSA prevention programs are essential. This study outlines a randomized controlled trial evaluating the effectiveness of the Doll program for preventing CSA in the specific context of China.Method: 181 children were pre-tested and post-tested (5 weeks later) for knowledge of sexual abuse prevention. Children were assigned to one of three groups; 1) child only (n = 60); 2) child and parent (n = 60); and 3) control (n = 61).Results: Children in groups 1 and 2 showed significant increases (p < 0.001) in scores on the Appropriate Touch Scale (ATS) and the Inappropriate Touch Scale (ITS), whereas those in the control group did not show a significant increase in ATS scores, but their scores on ITS significantly increased (p < 0.001). Children in group 2 showed significantly increased ITS scores compared to group 1 (p = 0.016).Conclusion: Doll program effectively enhances children’s CSA prevention knowledge, with parental engagement demonstrating a positive impact on the program.

“…This knowledge can be determined by asking students questions about inappropriate and inappropriate touching [12]. The CKAQ-RIII questionnaire will be used in Greek elementary schools in order to evaluate the efficacy of prevention programs as well as students' levels of knowledge regarding the prevention of sexual harassment [13]. Concur with Meng Yao, who stated in [14], that providing interventions does effectively increase knowledge of sexual violence in children.…”

To reduce the prevalence of sexually abusive behaviors toward children, the objective of this research was to assess the degree of the information held by students regarding reproductive health and readiness for puberty. This study uses quantitative research methods. Data collection is done through a questionnaire technique. The questionnaire was adopted and modified from the CKAQ-RIII research questionnaire. Data were analyzed using univariate tests through SPSS statistical program. Most respondents were female (51.9%) and male (48.1%). The average knowledge of respondents about the right touch is good (6.23%), while the intermediate knowledge of respondents about the wrong contact is still low (10.57%). This article can be used as a literature study on child sexual abuse education prevention. As part of an effort to reduce the prevalence of CSA in educational settings, this research investigated the level of understanding fifth and sixth graders have regarding suitable and inappropriate forms of physical contact. CSA prevention education programs are urgently needed in schools. Such as health education about reproduction and puberty.
