The aim of the present work is to evaluate the efficacy of a program entitled "Prevention of child sexual abuse" the first structured program in Spain designed to prevent such risks. With this purpose, we carried out a study of 382 minors with ages ranging between 8 and 12 years. The result s show that the program has a very positive impact, increasing the awareness of the minors about this type of risk and improving their skills for coping with a possible event of sexual abuse. The efficacy of the program is also apparent, at the level of secondary prevention, in that it increased the likelihood that the children would reveal such events. Finally, exploration of the possible adverse effects of the program showed that the negative effects observed by parents and educators are negligible.
本研究的目的是评估一个名为“预防儿童性虐待”的项目的效果，这是西班牙首个旨在预防此类风险的结构化项目。为此，我们对382名年龄在8至12岁之间的未成年人进行了研究。结果表明，该项目产生了非常积极的影响，提高了未成年人对这类风险的认识，并提升了他们应对可能发生的性虐待事件的技能。该项目在二级预防层面的效果也很明显，因为它增加了儿童揭露此类事件的可能性。最后，对该项目可能产生的不良影响的探究表明，家长和教育工作者所观察到的负面影响微不足道。
