Yet, a closer look at this literature suggests that support for this relationship might not be as strong or consistent as reported. The purpose of this article is to review studies assessing the relationship between caregiver support of sexually abused children and postdisclosure functioning of their children. Studies were collected using various search engines, and the tables of contents of certain child maltreatment journals were reviewed. To be included, studies had to be published prior to 2012 and to quantitatively capture the bivariate relationship between a quantified assessment of nonoffending caregiver (NOC) support anytime after the child\u2019s sexual abuse disclosure and a quantified assessment of at least 1 of the 11 types of postdisclosure functioning in the children. Twenty-nine studies met the criteria to be included. In the meta-analysis, Pearson\u2019s Product Moment Correlation, transformed to a Fisher\u2019s Z, was used as the effect size. Potential moderators of effect size were also coded and assessed. Postdisclosure caregiver support was significantly related to 3 of the 11 different types of postdisclosure functioning in children. However, the largest effect size was .170, and 8 of the 11 types of postdisclosure functioning in children had effect sizes smaller than \u00b1.100. Few moderators of the relationship between NOC support and postdisclosure functioning in children were found. Minimal support for the relationship between caregiver support of sexually abused children and children\u2019s postdisclosure functioning was found. At this time, it is impossible to determine whether this weak relationship can be attributed to the many methodological weaknesses in the measurement of caregiver support or whether caregiver support is not related to postdisclosure functioning in children.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/1524838014526307","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,4,4]],"date-time":"2014-04-04T00:03:36Z","timestamp":1396569816000},"page":"258-279","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":51,"title":["A Meta-Analytic Review of the Relationship Between Nonoffending Caregiver Support and Postdisclosure Functioning in Sexually Abused Children"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"16","author":[{"given":"Rebecca M.","family":"Bolen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Social Work, University of Tennessee, Knoxville, TN, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kellie B.","family":"Gergely","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Social Work, University of Tennessee, Knoxville, TN, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2014,4,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-1524838014526307","unstructured":"*Studies preceded by an asterisk were included in the meta-analysis."},{"key":"bibr4-1524838014526307","volume-title":"Factor analysis and reliability of parental behaviors and attitudes questionnaire","author":"Bergeron L.","year":"1993"},{"key":"bibr2-1524838014526307","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/15248380020031003"},{"key":"bibr3-1524838014526307","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1300\/J070v16n02_03"},{"key":"bibr5-1524838014526307","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4324\/9780203462119"},{"key":"bibr6-1524838014526307","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00004583-200404000-00005"},{"key":"bibr7-1524838014526307","first-page":"1402","volume":"34","author":"*Cohen J.
