How children verbally reported their experiences of a genital exam

ABSTRACT This literature review examines five empirical studies that researchers conducted to investigate children’s reports about their experience of undergoing a genital examination. Findings show older children tend to provide more extensive and accurate accounts of their experiences than younger children, who are particularly vulnerable when questioned about genital touch. Results further reveal that the use of anatomical dolls with young children contributes to errors and that children commit errors of omission as well as errors of commission. Factors associated with accurate and inaccurate recall are highlighted, and areas in need of further exploration are identified.
