Sexual violence is a broad term that encompasses a wide range of sexual victimizations. Since the American Academy of Pediatrics published its last policy statement on sexual assault in 2008, additional information and data have emerged about sexual violence affecting adolescents and the treatment and management of the adolescent who has been a victim of sexual assault. This report provides new information to update physicians and focuses on the acute assessment and care of adolescent victims who have experienced a recent sexual assault. Follow-up of the acute assault, as well as prevention of sexual assault, are also discussed.

“…Working collaboratively with medical professionals, the therapist in these cases facilitated a referral for a full medical examination during which the informed pediatrician provided concrete reassurance to the children that their genitals were not damaged or "poisoned" (as one child feared) and, in fact, were functioning normally. Similarly, the findings of a study examining adolescents' reactions to medical examinations in the context of a child sexual abuse investigation demonstrated that despite the anticipatory anxiety and discomfort asso-ciated with the examination, the majority of adolescents found the medical visit to be helpful and/or reassuring (Mears, Heflin, Finkel, Deblinger, & Steer, 2003).…”

“…The State scale is composed of 20 items that are rated on a 4-point scale ranging from 1 (not at all) to 4 (very much so). The STAI has been used widely in studies with adolescents and has been shown to have good psychometric properties (e.g., see, Apter et al, 2003;Mears, Heflin, Finkel, Deblinger, & Steer, 2003). The manual contains alpha estimates above .80 for the STAI-S in a number of clinical and nonclinical samples.…”

This study examined the factor structure and psychometric properties of the Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II; A. T. Beck, Steer, & Brown, 1996) in samples of high-school adolescents (N=414; 210 boys and 204 girls, ages 14-18 years). Confirmatory factor analyses provided satisfactory fit estimates for the two- and three-factor oblique solutions reported frequently in the extant literature. The solution to a general factor with domain-specific somatic and cognitive-affective factors was examined as an alternative model to previously established models for the current high-school sample data. Results provided stronger support for the general factor model. Estimates of internal consistency for scores on this instrument were high (coefficient alpha=.92, average interitem correlation=.35). The mean BDI-II total score for the nonclinical samples (M=12.50, SD=10.50) was compared with the mean scores reported for various adolescent normative samples in the extant literature. The BDI-II total score correlated moderately and significantly with scores on self-report measures of hopelessness (r=.63), anxiety (r=.53), and suicide-related behaviors (r=.57), providing support of adequate correlates for the BDI-II. Estimates of known-groups validity were evaluated using data from a small sample of 167 clinical adolescent inpatients. Specific study findings, limitations, and recommendations are discussed.
