Abstract

Highlights • Child sexual abuse is a reality in black Africa.• Detection of anogenital lesions during a paediatric consultation must evoke the possibility of sexual abuse.• In such cases, it’s important to “listening to the child’s voice”.

How strong is the evidence?

Evidence Hub reads this as a case series, done in people. Its evidence level is 5 of 5 (Very low · case / narrative / animal / in vitro / in silico). Case reports, narrative reviews, and animal, cell or computer-model studies give the weakest evidence for human health.

How the five levels of evidence work. The level is assigned automatically from the abstract and can be wrong, so check the paper.
