Recent awareness of the pervasiveness of sexual abuse of children has resulted in a move to implement prevention programs. In conducting these programs the question of effectiveness is frequently asked. In an attempt to answer some of this concern, a questionnaire was developed and tested to determine children's base level of knowledge. The video format prevention program, "Feeling Yes, Feeling No", available from the National Film Board (Canada) was tested as a method of increasing awareness. A school with a cross section of town and rural children, with differing socioeconomic backgrounds, participated in the study. The study consisted of a pretest of knowledge, a structured video interactive classroom prevention program, and a post-test measure of change. One hundred and thirty-seven students in grades 4, 5, and 6 participated. The program took 4 weeks to complete. When asked about their feelings with regard to the program, 97% of the children stated that they enjoyed it. The results indicated that while most children have a basic level of self-protective knowledge and assertiveness, they can, in a classroom setting, learn significant and additional facts about avoiding sexual assault. Eight of twenty-nine knowledge questions elicited a large change in response, suggesting increased awareness of self-protection. The most significant changes occurred with girls, the same group apparently most at risk.
近期，人们逐渐意识到儿童性虐待现象十分普遍，这促使了预防项目的实施。在开展这些项目时，人们常常会问到其有效性的问题。为了回应部分此类担忧，我们设计并测试了一份问卷，以确定儿童的基础知识水平。作为提高意识的一种方法，我们对加拿大国家电影局提供的视频形式预防项目《是感觉，否感觉》进行了测试。一所涵盖了城乡不同社会经济背景儿童的学校参与了这项研究。该研究包括知识的预测试、结构化视频互动课堂预防项目以及变化的后测试。137名四、五、六年级的学生参与其中。该项目耗时四周完成。当被问及对该项目的感受时，97%的儿童表示他们喜欢它。结果表明，虽然大多数儿童具备基本的自我保护知识和自信，但在课堂环境中，他们能够学习到更多关于避免性侵犯的重要知识。29个知识问题中有8个的回答出现了大幅变化，这表明自我保护意识有所增强。最显著的变化发生在女孩身上，她们显然是风险最高的群体。
