“…Specifically looking at CSA, a study conducted in Great Britain found that disclosure of CSA among South Asian women was often impeded by lack of basic knowledge of CSA; lack of awareness surrounding the existence of the CSA services; fear of public exposure due to disclosure of CSA; fear of culturally insensitive responses from professionals; and other cultural factors such as izzat [honor/respect], haya [modesty], and sharam [shame/embarrassment]) [19,20]. Furthermore, previous research has found that the upbringing and personality of Asian Indians are partly shaped by the influence of extended adult family members, and they are expected to depend on their parents, grandparents, other siblings, and aunts and uncles throughout their lifespan [21]. This familial norm is often a significant barrier for disclosure of family violence and CSA within families [5,6].…”

Family violence, including child sexual abuse (CSA), is a significant public health problem in the United States. It is particularly difficult to assess family violence and CSA among South Asians because it is often hidden due to cultural and familial stigma. A web-based survey was administered to a convenience sample (n = 368) of South Asian adults in the US. One-fourth (25.2 %) of the sample reported CSA; 13.8 % reported abuse involving exposure; 21.5 % reported abuse involving touching; 4.5 % reported attempted sexual intercourse; and 3.5 % reported forced sexual intercourse. Adjusted odds ratios found that participants who reported any relationship violence were significantly more likely to have experienced CSA (OR 2.28; 95 % CI 1.26-4.13); and suicide attempt was significantly associated with CSA (OR 3.96; 95 % CI 1.27-12.3). The findings presented in this formative study will assist in guiding future studies and interventions for South Asians in the United States.
