OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to evaluate the psychiatric outcomes for the first cohorts of adolescent female Child Sexual Abuse (CSA) survivors after two-weeks in an intensive multimodal treatment program designed for this population. METHODS: Baseline data was collected at intake and again immediately prior to discharge. Data collected included demographic information, as well as measurement of standardized scales for PTSD, depression, anxiety, quality of life, self-esteem, and resilience. Mean scores at baseline and discharge were statistically analyzed to assess for changes following the treatment program on these measures. RESULTS: = 0.019). CONCLUSION: This study presents preliminary findings from an intensive two-week multimodal treatment program specifically designed to help survivors of child sexual abuse (CSA). The highly positive short-term findings suggest that further longer-term follow-up in larger groups is appropriate. These preliminary results also support ongoing research for such intensive multimodal programs.
