Impact of Child Sexual Abuse Prevention Education (CSAPE) Training Module on Enhancing the Self-Protection Skills Among High School Students

Abstract

A high school student's ability to defend themselves is essential, particularly in the modern world. Even before they reach adolescence, students struggle with a variety of issues and are limited in their activities. This study set out to determine how a child sexual abuse prevention education (CSAPE) training module affected high school students' ability to defend themselves. A pretest/posttest, quasi-experimental approach was used. There were 168 participants from two schools. The control group (n = 84) received instruction through a lecture in a classroom setting, whereas the intervention group (n = 84) got six sessions of the Child Sexual Abuse Prevention Education (CSAPE) Training Module through the hybrid app. The study's conclusions show that, between the pre- and post-tests, high school students in the experimental group did not have substantially different self-protection abilities or knowledge from the Child Sexual Abuse Prevention Education (CSAPE) training module. Between the pre- and post-tests, there is not a significant distinction in the self-protection skills and child sexual abuse prevention education (CSAPE) training module among high school students in the control group.
