The neurological scale on the Kidi-CATI will be used to determine whether or not the children in each group have neurological deficits. The general neuropsychological scale consists of 38 items related to possible neurological problems. The second questionnaire will be used to assess whether or not the children in each group have been the victims of sexual abuse.
Sexual abuse is any touching of the child's genitals by an adult perpetrator.
The Kidi-CATI and sexual abuse questionnaires will be connected by test identification number rather than names to protect the identity of the children and adults involved.
