“…Most of the studies (Gilbert & al. 1989;Herndon, 1984;Kolko & al., 1987;Porch, 1986;Tutty, 1993;Wurtele & Miller-Perrin, 1987) inventoried noted a high level of parental awareness before training but with some benefit being derived from participation in such workshops. The results of our study are along the same lines, thus parents had a fair amount of knowledge of the subject matter before participating in the workshop but nonetheless, improved on this knowledge, especially on the problems surrounding sexual abuse and its prevention.…”

“…Most researchers noted an increase after such courses in parental awareness with respect to the prevalence of sexual abuse (Gilbert, Berrick, Le Prohn & Nyman, 1989;Kolko, Moser, Litz & Hughes, 1987), although certain studies showed that parents already possess a great deal of information on the subject before the training (Berrick, 1988;Herndon, 1984;Reppucci, Jones & Cook, 1994;Wurtele, Kvaternick & Franklin, 1992). Their results seem related to respondent's high level of education.…”

This study examines the impact on the knowledge ofkindergarten-aged children's mothers, who attended a workshop on the issues and prevention of sexual abuse toward children as well as children's sex education. At the same time the children attended a class on the prevention of sexual abuse in school. Mothers and children were assigned to three groups according to the training received: experimental (mothers and children receive training), Control I (children only receive training) and Control II (mothers and children receive no training). All mothers participating in the study were given a questionnaire about their knowledge before and after the experimental group received treatment. The results show that the experimental group mothers improved their knowledge due to their participation in this training. No change in knowledge appears for mothers whose children participated in a prevention program. Resume Cette recherche evalue l'impact, au niveau des connaissances des meres d'enfants de maternelle, d'une formation portant sur la problematique et la prevention de l'abus sexuel a l'egard des enfants ainsi que sur l'education sexuelle infantile. Les enfants participent parallelement a un programme de prevention des abus sexuels en milieu scolaire. Les meres et leur enfant sont repartis en trois groupes selon la formation recue : experimental (les meres et les enfants recoivent une formation), contr6le I (seulement les enfants participent a une formation) et controle II (les meres et les enfants n 'ont aucune formation). Toutes les meres de I 'etude repondent aun questionnaire sur les connaissances adeux moments (avant et apres la formation donnee aux meres du groupe experimental). Les resultats demontrent que les meres du groupe experimental ameliorent leurs connaissances a la suite de leur participation a la formation. Aucun changement n 'apparait chez les meres dont seulement les enfants participent a un programme de prevention. ResumenEste estudio evalua el efecto sobre las madres de niiios de edad pre-escolar y de la instruccion de prevencion del abuso sexual del nino y la educacion sexual infantil. Los niiios de los participantes tomaron parte en un programa paralelo en la escuela sobre la prevencion de abuso sexual. Dividieron a los participantes en tres grupos segun la instruccion recibida: grupo de entrenamiento (tanto las madres como los niiios reciben instruccion), grupo de control I (solamente los nihos reciben la instruccion) y grupo de control II (ni madres ni los nihos reciben instruccion). Todas las madres en el estudio completaron un cuestionario sobre su conocimiento del tema dos veces-antes y despues de la instruccion dada al grupo del entrenamiento. Los INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF EARLY CHILDHOOD 32(2). ISSN 0020-7187 83 resultados demuestran que el grupo del entrenamiento mejoro su conocimiento despues de haber participado en el taller. Ningun cambio fue notado en el conocimiento de las madres que no recibieron la instruccion pero que sus niiios participaron en un programa de prevencion.

“…Finally, where there have been attempts to measure the potential negative effects of programs for children (Binder & McNiel, 1986;Conte, Rosen, Saperstein, & Shermack, 1985;Downer, 1986;Kenning, Gallmeier, Jackson, & Plemons, 1987;Kolko, Moser, Litz, & Hughes, 1987), no study has used appropriate measures that might reliably measure such a phenomenon.…”

“…They often skirt the topic of sexual abuse altogether when providing examples or illustrations of the use of sexual abuse prevention skills. Instead, most programs provide examples of children saying no, getting away, and reporting in response to an abduction lure from a stranger (Miltenberger & Thiesse-Duffy, 1988;Kolko et al, 1987). Such programs are less likely to teach skills needed to respond safely in a sexual abuse situation, which more typically involves a request for inappropriate behavior from a known individual.…”

“…In informationbased approaches information is presented verbally by the trainer or through the use of a video, play, or coloring=activity book (e.g., Kolko, Moser, Litz, & Hughes, 1987;Miltenberger & Thiesse-Duffy, 1988;Miltenberger, Thiesse-Duffy, Suda, Kozak, & Bruellman, 1990;Wurtele, Saslawsky, Miller, Marrs, & Britcher, 1986). The children are given information about sexual abuse and prevention skills and then are encouraged to discuss what they've learned.…”
