To estimate the extent of childhood sexual abuse, questions were added to the 1993 Oregon Youth Risk Behavior Survey of students in grades 9-12. Twenty-five high schools throughout Oregon participated in the survey. Among the 2,332 students who answered sexual abuse questions, 20.9% had ever been sexually abused; females (33.1%) were much more likely to have ever been abused than were males (8.1%). Females (10.3%) also were more likely than males (3.4%) to have been sexually abused within the past year. High school students sexually abused in the past year engaged in many high risk health behaviors such as weapon carrying, substance abuse, seriously considering suicide in the past year, and sexual activity when compared with students who had never been sexually abused. Further educational efforts with teachers, health care providers, parents, and child care providers, as well as development and use of school curricula, are needed to reduce sexual abuse.
为了估计儿童性虐待的程度，1993年俄勒冈州对9至12年级的学生进行青少年危险行为调查时增加了相关问题。俄勒冈州的25所高中参与了此次调查。在回答了性虐待问题的2332名学生中，20.9%的人曾遭受过性虐待；女性（33.1%）遭受过性虐待的可能性远高于男性（8.1%）。女性（10.3%）在过去一年遭受性虐待的可能性也高于男性（3.4%）。与从未遭受过性虐待的学生相比，过去一年遭受性虐待的高中生有许多高风险的健康行为，如携带武器、滥用药物、在过去一年中认真考虑过自杀以及有性行为。需要对教师、医疗保健人员、家长和儿童护理人员进一步开展教育工作，并开发和使用学校课程，以减少性虐待。
