Feasibility and Acceptability of a Child Sexual Abuse Prevention Program for Childcare Professionals: Comparison of a Web-Based and In-Person Training

Type
Summary

It is important to provide child sexual abuse prevention programs for child care workers; however, there is limited research on the feasibility and acceptability of such programs. This study randomly assigned 188 child care workers to two formats (in-person and web-based) of a child sexual abuse prevention program, "Stewards of Children." Results indicated that both formats were well-received by child care workers and there were no significant differences in feasibility and acceptability of the two formats.
