To determine if there were differences between using anatomically correct dolls, drawings, or verbal descriptions in the accuracy and completeness of information, 45 girls aged 9 to 10 were studied. The children were shown a 12-minute videotape designed to provide information on sexual abuse and its prevention. Participants were interviewed individually and requested to tell everything they remembered about the videotape using 1 of the 3 methods. Results indicated that the children in the group using either dolls or drawings obtained higher scores, but the differences between groups were not statistically significant.
