RE: CACs and Child Sexual Abuse Outcomes

["Heisler, Kurt W." <HeisleKW@xxxxxxxx>]

The National Criminal Justice Reference Service (NCJRS) has links to
many studies and references on this topic. Go to their website
(http://www.ncjrs.gov/) and do a site search (top right) for CHILD
ADVOCACY CENTERS. (Don't use quotes or you'll omit "Children's Advocacy
Centers," etc.). You'll see lots of results, including those related to
multi-site CAC evaluation studies.

Subject:   CACs and Child Sexual Abuse Outcomes

Greetings,

I am a doctoral student in clinical psychology preparing to conduct
research examining the utility of MDT approaches (CAC,CPT,etc) to child
sexual abuse intervention (as opposed to purely CPS investigation) as
measured by mental health outcomes and follow-up in terms of re-entrance
into the CPS system (revictimization of any kind).  I hope to work with
CACs in Brevard Co, FL and Catoosa Co, GA, as well as with the SATP at
my school.  My research advisor is Dr. Paula Wolfteich.  If anyone is
familiar with similar research, which may have also considered time in
treatment, treatment outcomes, f/u, etc, please let me know.  Thanks.
