Findings indicate a decline for both sexes; although, the evidence is more compelling for females. There is also evidence of a decline for Indigenous peoples, for those living in low-income households, and regardless of the relationship to the perpetrator (i.e., family member, a teacher\/professor\/tutor, a babysitter, a nanny, other non-family member but known to the respondent, or a stranger).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In Canada, evidence from 3 retrospective population surveys suggests a decline in CSA since the early 1990s.
