Commercial sexual exploitation of children and adolescents (CSECA) is a worldwide problem. The need to improve current detection and intervention protocols motivated this analysis, which aimed to use expert opinion to identify indicators (symptoms, conduct, or behaviors) that may help to predict the risk of suffering CSECA and to detect those who are suffering from it, as well as the type of detection tools and protocols that should be used.
An international multidisciplinary group of experts in CSECA was invited to take part in this study. A two-round digital Delphi panel was undertaken with 22 experts. An ad hoc questionnaire was created, which included 41 questions about CSECA risk factors and interventions that should be considered during detection.
The main indicators identified included normalization of dynamics of sexual exchange within the family, family history of sexual exploitation, and sexually transmitted infections. Predictive characteristics included economic extortion, lack of documentation, and family estrangement. Additionally, 95.5% of participants agreed that multiple victimizations in childhood should be considered for CSECA detection.
This study provides information that may be very useful in the development/improvement of instruments for CSECA detection. With this approach we hope to promote the creation of tools adapted to the Spanish cultural context.
商业性剥削儿童和青少年(CSECA)是一个全球性问题。需要改进当前的检测和干预方案,这促使我们进行了这项分析,旨在利用专家意见确定可能有助于预测遭受 CSECA 风险和发现正在遭受 CSECA 的人的指标(症状、行为或行为),以及应使用的检测工具和方案的类型。
邀请了一组国际多学科 CSECA 专家参加这项研究。进行了两轮数字德尔菲小组研究,共有 22 名专家参加。创建了一个专门的问卷,其中包括 41 个关于 CSECA 危险因素和检测期间应考虑的干预措施的问题。
确定的主要指标包括家庭内性交换动态的正常化、家庭性剥削史和性传播感染。预测特征包括经济勒索、缺乏文件和家庭疏远。此外,95.5%的参与者同意应考虑儿童时期的多次受害情况进行 CSECA 检测。
这项研究提供的信息可能对开发/改进 CSECA 检测工具非常有用。通过这种方法,我们希望促进创建适应西班牙文化背景的工具。
