OBJECTIVE: To study the prevalence and spectrum of sexual abuse among adolescents in Kerala, South India.
METHODS: A self- report survey was conducted among adolescents in the 15-19 y age group, studying in the plus one and plus two classes in selected schools.
RESULTS: Of the 1614 respondents (688 boys and 926 girls), 36 % of boys and 35 % of girls had experienced sexual abuse at some point during their lifetime. Most instances were sexual advances while using public transport. Feelings of insecurity and isolation at home, of being disliked by parents and of being depressed were significantly more in adolescents who had experienced sexual abuse, compared to those who had not.
CONCLUSIONS: Sexual abuse is widely prevalent and both boys and girls are equally susceptible. There is a need to evolve strategies to protect children from sexual abuse and the programmes should address both boys and girls.
