The problem
Intervention: Examination of the relationship between Adverse Childhood Experiences and men's TF-CSEA perpetration to inform prevention policies targeting ACEs
Who it was tested with: Adult men aged 18+ from quota-based samples in Australia (n=1,939), United Kingdom (n=1,506), and United States (n=1,473).
Experience from people who deliver programmes: stories, case studies and lessons learned. Valuable for understanding how and why, and for spotting what to test next, but not a measure of effect.
"Independent quota-based samples from Australia (n = 1,939), the United Kingdom (n = 1,506), and the United States (n = 1,473) were analysed, with data weighted to be demographically comparable to the male populations. Results show that ACEs were markedly more prevalent among TF-CSEA perpetrators..." The study identifies associations between specific ACE types and TF-CSEA perpetration, supporting the rationale that preventing childhood adversity could be part of TF-CSEA prevention strategy, though the cross-sectional design prevents causal inference.
Cross-sectional design cannot establish causality. Self-reported sensitive data subject to recall and social desirability bias. Different patterns by country suggest cultural or measurement differences that are not fully explained.
