Overview

Quasi-experimental study demonstrates improved sexual abuse prevention knowledge in child laborers, highlighting the efficacy of targeted protection programs.

Key Points

  • To evaluate the effectiveness of a targeted educational intervention designed to enhance sexual abuse prevention knowledge among child laborers.
  • Conducted a quasi-experimental study at two support centers in Tehran, Iran, allocating child laborers non-randomly to an intervention group (n = 30) or a control group (n = 30).
  • Administered a four-session educational curriculum covering abuse identification, perpetrator recognition, and self-protection strategies, assessing outcomes via a validated knowledge questionnaire at baseline, post-intervention, and three months.
  • Baseline sexual abuse prevention knowledge showed no significant difference between the intervention and control cohorts (P = 0.30).
  • Repeated measures ANOVA demonstrated a significant main effect of group favoring the intervention (P = 0.002) and a significant time-by-group interaction (P < 0.001), indicating sustained knowledge retention across the three-month follow-up.
