Abstract

The Comprehensive Sexual Assault Assessment Tool (CSAAT) is a guide to help health care providers document health needs, forensic information and treatment of rape or sexual assault victims. The CSAAT was mainly designed as a victim evaluation reporting tool, but is sometimes used in the compilation of agency statistics and as part of training programs for health care providers. Information from the CSAAT can be used in court proceedings and criminal investigations.
