The problem
Intervention: Use of Self-Figure drawing assessment alongside Traumatic Events Checklist (TEQ-5) and Medical Somatic Dissociation Questionnaire (MSDQ) to assess child abuse across Thai and Indian adolescents
Who it was tested with: 386 adolescents aged 13-18 years (193 from Thailand, 193 from India) who reported experiencing child abuse; 69.9% female in both samples.
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.
"Employing a mixed-methods approach, the study utilized quantitative measures, including the Traumatic Events Checklist (TEQ-5) and Medical Somatic Dissociation Questionnaire (MSDQ), alongside a qualitative analysis of Self-Figure drawings." This describes a descriptive cross-sectional comparison without control groups or randomisation, making it practitioner-level evidence that documents how abused adolescents in two countries differ in their responses, but does not rigorously test the tool's validity or effectiveness for abuse detection.
Study did not include a non-abused comparison group to validate whether drawing features actually discriminate abused adolescents; used convenience sampling; does not measure the predictive validity or sensitivity/specificity of the drawing assessment; cross-sectional design prevents causal conclusions about cultural influence.
