- Describe the core elements of the clinical presentation of suspected child sexual abuse and respond using appropriate initial clinical actions (e.g., immediate safety steps, documentation, referral/reporting pathways) in pediatric care settings.
- Outline the component parts of a medical evaluation/examination when sexual abuse is a concern and document key elements in the clinical record in a manner consistent with routine pediatric practice.
- Communicate with children using developmentally appropriate, trauma-informed language to facilitate conversations about “OK” and “not OK” experiences in clinical encounters.
- Differentiate developmentally expected sexual behaviors from concerning behaviors in children and assess when further evaluation or referral is warranted in clinical practice.
- Incorporate anticipatory guidance strategies for the primary prevention of child sexual abuse into routine pediatric care (e.g., well-child visits) by counseling caregivers and patients using practical, age-appropriate messaging.
