dc.description.abstractThe present study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the sexual abuse prevention program developed for early adolescents. The participants were aged between 9-13 years (M = 10.7, SD = 0.7). While 62% of the participants were females (n = 143), 38% were males (n = 89). They were randomly assigned to the groups of education (n = 60), first comparison (n = 81), and second comparison (n = 91). Pre-test, post-test, and follow-up measurements were performed to the early adolescents through the Sexual Health Information and Attitude Inventory, the Internet-related Abuse Knowledge Scale (IAKS), the Safe and Unsafe Situation Assessment Form (SUSA), the Emotion Awareness Questionnaire (EAQ), the Social Anxiety Scale for Adolescents (SAS-A). Pre-test and post-test measurements were taken from the parents through the Parental Information Form. The effectiveness of the program was examined by analysis of variance (ANOVA), analysis of covariance (ANCOVA), and Wilcoxon Signed-Ranks test for repeated measures and t-test for paired samples. It was found that the education group's knowledge and skills of protection from sexual abuse and its knowledge of sexuality, adolescence development, and gender issues increased statistically from pre-test to posttest, while the scores of the comparison groups did not differ significantly. There was no statistical difference among the groups in the topics of internet-related abuse, establishing safe relationships, and being able to say No from pre-test to post-test. Overall, the results suggested the effectiveness of the program in protection from sexual abuse.en_US
