About this study
Official title: Development and Pilot Testing of a Treatment for Children With Sexual Behavior Problems
A significant minority of children (ages 5-12) display problematic sexual behavior and the persistence of this behavior is oftentimes as stable as other child behavior problems, such as aggression and defiance. Unfortunately, the only tested intervention protocols for these concerns utilize a group treatment modality that is not feasible in most community treatment settings. This project will define and pilot test an intervention for child sexual behavior problems that is applicable in most settings and can be easily disseminated as a first step toward validation in larger clinical trials.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Child Sexual Behavior on the Child Sexual Behavior Inventory (CSBI)
Total raw score of the CSBI (potential range = 0-138). Higher scores indicate a greater number and frequency of reported problematic sexual behavior.
Measured: 4-6 months
Secondary outcomes (1)
Child Sexual Concerns on the Trauma Symptom Checklist for Young Children (TSCYC)
The sexual concerns subscale on the TSCYC provides another metric of sexual behaviors of children. Scaore are reported in T-score, which have a mean of 50 and a standard deviation of 10. A score of 65-70 typically indicates a borderline or sub-syndromal level of concern, while a score of 70 or above indicates clinically significant concern. As such, a higher score indicates greater concern. While there is technically no limit for calculating minimum and maximum values, the reported range of scores is typically between 40 and 100.
Measured: 4-6 months
