CLEAR ANSWERS TO COMMON QUESTIONS

Frequently Asked Questions

What does this quiz measure?
It screens for concerning experiences with parents or caregivers related to emotional control, physical safety, and sexual boundaries. It is a reflective self-check and cannot determine whether abuse occurred.
How should the results be interpreted?
Scores are not clinical or legal findings and are not severity cutoffs. Any single serious event may be significant even if the total score is low.
Who can the questions apply to?
Items focus on parents or caregivers but may also reflect harm involving other adults or peers. Interpret each item based on the situation that best matches the experience.
What time period should be considered when answering?
Consider both recent and past experiences, including patterns over time and one-time incidents. Answer based on what occurred, not on intentions or excuses.
What should be done if there is immediate danger or ongoing risk?
If immediate danger is present, contact local emergency services or move toward a safer place. If not urgent, consider sharing the results with a trusted adult, counselor, advocate, or child-protection service.
