ABSTRACT

Sexual abuse of female students with disabilities is a serious problem. The purpose of the present study was to review research on sexual abuse prevention programs for this population and to suggest directions for the development of such programs and future research. A total of 14 articles were selected and analyzed in terms of participants, research designs, content, instructional methods, outcome evaluation, and key findings. Results indicated that most sexual abuse prevention programs were developed for female adolescents and adults with intellectual disabilities. Secondly, this study showed that there were some limitations regarding research designs. Thirdly, sexual abuse prevention programs included teaching about body ownerships, body parts, and self-protection skills. However, there appeared that the programs often covered teaching some of the concepts and skills. Fourthly, lecture and role-plays were the primary instructional methods employed in the programs. Fifthly, existing studies often relied on verbal reports rather than role-play and in-situ assessment to evaluate the effects of the programs. Finally, the programs were generally effective, but there was minimal data regarding the long-term maintenance and generalization of the skills. Based on the findings of this study, suggestions for practice and future research were discussed.
