This study evaluated whether storytelling based on a children's picture book on sexual abuse prevention is an effective way to acquire self-protection skills in 33 children of a Brazilian public school. The instruments included: the adapted Portuguese version of the What If Situation Test (WIST III-R), which was used to assess the acquisition of three self-protective skills (recognize, resist, and report); the Observational Protocol of Practical Activities with Parents and Children; qualitative analysis of children's filmed verbalizations. Participants were divided into three groups in the experimental design: story-telling with a child sexual abuse prevention book, story-telling with a nonsexual abuse prevention book, and a Control Group without intervention. Children who participated in the child sexual abuse book intervention had a statistically significant increase in the ability to report the abuse to a trusted person.

Palavras-chave : child sexual abuse; storytelling; prevention; self-protective skills; child books.
