Çocuklar üzerinde olumsuz etkileri olan ve hatta bazen ölümle sonuçlanan cinsel istismarın önlenebilmesi için çocukların konu hakkında bilinçlendirilmesi oldukça önemlidir. Bu açıdan ele alındığında cinsel istismardan korumak amacıyla çocuklar için geliştirilmiş modüler ya da paket programlar oldukça ayrı bir değere sahiptir. Bu nedenle söz konusu çalışmada, çocuk cinsel istismarını önlemeye yönelik geliştirilen okul temelli programlar ve bu programların etkililiklerinin incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır.
