The purpose of this study was to describe the development and validation of a measurement\n tool for knowledge and skills related to the primary prevention of child physical and sexual abuse. <jats:bold>Methods:<\/jats:bold> Two elementary schools and 404 students participated. Students completed 5 instruments: the <jats:italic>Play it Safe!<\/jats:italic><jats:sup>\u00ae<\/jats:sup> scale, 2 scales related to abuse prevention,\n and 2 unrelated scales. For assessment of the convergent and divergent validity, correlations were estimated and corresponding p-values in SAS version 9.4. <jats:bold>Results:<\/jats:bold> For the <jats:italic>Play it Safe!<\/jats:italic><jats:sup>\u00ae<\/jats:sup> scale, the mean score was 10.87 out of 14 potential points (SD = 2.73; higher\n scores = higher knowledge). The internal consistency of the scale was adequate with a Cronbach's alpha of 0.77. We found strong correlations for the 2 convergent validity scales, and weak correlations for the 2 divergent validity scales. <jats:bold>Conclusions:<\/jats:bold> This study demonstrates the divergent\n and convergent validity of a child abuse primary prevention knowledge scale that can be used in school-settings and can assist in the measurement of primary prevention knowledge.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.5993\/ajhb.45.5.14","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,11,11]],"date-time":"2021-11-11T17:45:34Z","timestamp":1636652734000},"page":"947-955","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Development and Validation of a Child Physical and Sexual Abuse Prevention Scale"],"prefix":"10.5993","volume":"45","author":[{"given":"Erika L.","family":"Thompson","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Erika L.
