Project Director: M M Neel
Date Published: Unknown
Annotation: This protocol is designed to assist Kentucky hospitals in minimizing the physical and psychological trauma to sexual assault/abuse victims, maximizing the probability of collecting and preserving the physical evidence for potential use in the legal system, and interviewing and physically examining sexual assault/abuse victims.

Information is also provided on sexually transmitted diseases. Part II provides the protocol for cases involving the sexual abuse of children. The treatment plan covers facility, intake, reporting, support personnel, and consent. The interview addresses abuse history, indicators of child sexual abuse, assessment, development considerations for interviewing children, interviewing techniques, and medical history. Medical examination procedures are detailed, and procedures for obtaining and recording post-examination information are described.
