State of Sexual Assault Services:" Findings from A Situational Analysis of Services in South Africa

Resource Description: 

This study highlights the need for standardised clinical management guidelines for sexual assault service delivery. Results indicated that there was significant provincial variability in sexual assault service delivery. Providers’ attitudes towards sexual assault as well as the availability of a protocol in the facility differed significantly between provinces. The provider's awareness of the presence of a protocol in the facility was significantly associated with higher quality of care. There is no one province that was found to be better in all areas of sexual assault services when considering all aspects explored in this study.
