Providing school-based child sexual abuse (CSA) prevention programs ensures that the majority of children will participate in programming. Since many parents may feel ill equipped to have such discussions with their children, programs offered in education settings can bring awareness to this issue. A sample of mothers (N = 268) from across the United States completed an online survey related to their experiences with and attitudes toward school-based CSA prevention programs. Most mothers (70%) had no exposure to prevention programs during their childhood, but the majority (95%) had a positive attitude toward programming for their children. Most mothers believed that offering CSA prevention in schools was important and could provide a safety net. Mothers desired programming that was age appropriate, involved parents and was activity based. These results can help inform schools’ prevention programming.

提供以学校为基础的儿童性虐待 (CSA) 预防计划可确保大多数儿童参与计划。由于许多父母可能觉得自己没有能力与孩子进行此类讨论，因此教育机构提供的课程可以提高人们对这个问题的认识。母亲样本 ( N = 268) 来自美国各地，完成了一项关于他们对基于学校的 CSA 预防计划的经验和态度的在线调查。大多数母亲 (70%) 在童年时期没有接触过预防计划，但大多数 (95%) 对为孩子制定的计划持积极态度。大多数母亲认为，在学校提供 CSA 预防很重要，可以提供安全网。母亲们希望节目适合他们的年龄，让父母参与并以活动为基础。这些结果有助于为学校的预防计划提供信息。
