          Abstract

          Resumo O objetivo do estudo foi investigar a prevalência de exploração sexual entre crianças e adolescentes em situação de rua e as características associadas a este desfecho. Neste estudo transversal, conduzido nos municípios de Rio Grande e Porto Alegre-RS, os dados foram coletados por meio de entrevistas com os participantes, as quais foram conduzidas por entrevistadores treinados. O método de amostragem foi o Respondent-Driven Sampling (RDS) e as análises estatísticas foram conduzidas por meio da regressão de Poisson com ajuste robusto da variância. A amostra foi composta por 186 crianças e adolescentes com idades entre 10 e 17 anos, das quais 8% relataram ter tido experiência de exploração sexual. Ter idade entre 16 e 17 anos, ter sofrido relação sexual forçada e não ter vínculo escolar foram características independentemente associadas a este desfecho. Foi observada que a falta de vínculo escolar aumentou em 16 vezes a probabilidade de sofrer exploração sexual, sendo o principal fator de risco identificado neste estudo. Sugere-se que a inclusão e permanência das crianças e adolescentes em situação de rua no contexto escolar possa reduzir significativamente o risco de exploração sexual entre esta população.

          Abstract The scope of this study was to investigate the prevalence of sexual exploitation of homeless children and adolescents living on the streets, as well as characteristics associated with this outcome. In this cross-sectional investigation, carried out in the municipalities of Rio Grande and Porto Alegre-RS, data were collected through interviews, which were conducted by trained interviewers. The Respondent-Driven Sampling (RDS) strategy was adopted and statistical analyses were conducted using Poisson regression with robust adjustment of variance. The sample included 186 children and adolescents between 10 and 17 years of age, of which 8% reported having been subjected to sexual exploitation. Being 16 to 17 years old, having had forced sexual intercourse and not having bonds with school were characteristics independently associated with this outcome. It was observed that the lack of contact with school increased the probability 16-fold of having suffered sexual exploitation, being considered the main risk factor in this study. The proposition is that the inclusion and permanence of homeless children and adolescents living on the streets into schools might significantly reduce the risk of sexual exploitation of this population group.

              The impact of child sexual abuse on health: a systematic review of reviews.

              A large amount of studies and literature reviews on the consequences of child sexual abuse has appeared over the past twenty years. To prevent that the inconsistency in their conclusions along with their methodological differences and limitations may create interpretative difficulties, mistaken beliefs, or confusion among all professionals who turn to this literature for guidance, this paper addresses the best available scientific evidence on the topic, by providing a systematic review of the several reviews that have investigated the literature on the effects of child sexual abuse. Seven databases were searched, supplemented with hand-search of reference lists from retrieved papers. The author and a psychiatrist independently evaluated the eligibility of all studies identified, abstracted data, and assessed study quality. Disagreements were resolved by consensus. Fourteen reviews, including more than 270,000 subjects from 587 studies, were analyzed. There is evidence that survivors of childhood sexual abuse are significantly at risk of a wide range of medical, psychological, behavioral, and sexual disorders. Relationships are small to medium in magnitudes and moderated by sample source and size. Child sexual abuse should be considered as a general, nonspecific risk factor for psychopathology. The implications for research, treatment, and health policy are discussed.
