What is the technical information of the CSBI™?

Test structure

  • Normed on 1,114 children from a wide range of socioeconomic backgrounds in the general population. Data from 512 children from child abuse centers also are presented.
  • The CSBI Total scale indicates the overall level of sexual behavior the child exhibits.
  • The Developmentally Related Sexual Behavior (DRSB) scale indicates sexual behaviors that can be considered normative for the child’s age and gender.
  • The Sexual Abuse Specific Items (SASI) scale indicates sexual behaviors that can be viewed as relatively atypical for the child’s age and gender; such behaviors raise the suspicion of possible sexual abuse.
  • Administer and score digitally on PARiConnect.
