Background

SBU has been commissioned by the Government (S2024/02156) to conduct a systematic map of systematic reviews that have studied methods to detect sexual risk exposure, primarily within social services and the health care sector, and where possible also within other areas covered by the agency’s remit. Furthermore, SBU should also conduct a systematic map of systematic reviews investigating treatments that can be provided by health care to children and adults who have been sexually exploited for pornographic purposes or under similar circumstances in which images or films have been shared. Two other projects at SBU similarly focuses on support for persons in prostitution and similar groups (dnr A2025/00637) and parental support and contact ways for children violently assaulted and sexually exploited (dnr A2025/00608).

Aim

The project aims to identify, assess and map systematic reviews that has either:

  1. investigated how to detect people at risk of being sexually abused, or
  2. investigated how to treat poor mental health among people who have been sexually abused, particularly for pornographic purposes or similar circumstances.

The two systematic maps will include systematic reviews that have included studies in Swedish or international context. Part one of the aim includes methods used either in social service or health care, while part two only includes methods used in health care.
