iebe & Svedin. 2008). The use of penetration was found to make victims more likely to postpone disclosure, opposite to the results from Priebe and Svedin (2008), but in line with an older study by Arata (1998). who found that more severe forms of sexual abuse were acvvr•iated with less disclosure. P

al Severity Index (GSI) can be used as a summary of the test and reflects the severity of all answered statements as a global measure of distress. Cronbach's x has been found to range from 0.73 to 0.97. For the purpose of the study. only the GSI was analysed. Data analyses To compare demographic and p

In Sweden, Priebe and Svedin (2008) conducted a national survey of 4339 adolescents, of whom 1962 reported some form of sexual abuse (65% of girls and 23% of boys). Details of

usal, and Other Child-Specific Reactions consist of 7, 11, 6, and 10 items, respectively. The reli- ability of this instrument is good to excellent (Cronbach's a 0.92 for total score, 0.79 for Intrusion, 0.77 for Avoidance, 0.71 for Arousal; Alisic & Kleber, 2010). For the purpose of the study, only the

of the child victim can act as key supports to creating an open relational context and fostering positive responses (Jensen et al., 2005; Priebe & Svedin, 2008; Schonbucher et al., 2012; Ungar et al., 20096). In particular, as children grow older, they are more likely to disclose to a peer, as shown

The Dutch CDI has a satisfac- tory internal consistency, with Cronbach's a ranging between 0.71 and 0.89 (Timbremont & Braet, 2002).
