This document provides an introduction, aims and objectives, methodology, and ethical considerations for a research study on the short-term impacts of child sexual abuse (CSA) on psychological health and wellbeing. The study will use standardized scales to quantitatively measure the relationship between CSA experiences and psychological outcomes in a sample of 30 children ages 6-12 who experienced abuse within the last year. Key methodological aspects that could impact validity, like the use of purposive sampling and inability to control confounding factors, are also discussed.
