Project Impact is pleased to announce the addition of The Diana Screen to our sexual assault prevention assessment services.
What is The Diana Screen?
The Diana Screen is a two-part computerized test, developed by Gene Abel M.D., of Abel Screening Inc.. This non-invasive assessment is used to determine the risk of the test-taker having sexually abused a child in the past.
While The Diana Screen is a pass / fail test, it goes beyond a simple questionnaire to include objectively measured sexual interest in children. While The Diana Screen is new, the technology that identifies sexual interest, which is a major part of The Diana Screen formula, has been empirically validated and has been in use by therapists and criminal justice professionals more than 100,000 times.
Who should use it?
Any organization where there are professionals or volunteers who work with children. The Diana Screen protects children from sexual abuse and helps protect the organization from sexual abuse litigation.
We already do criminal records and background checks…why should we use The Diana Screen?
While criminal record checks, background checks, sex offender registries, interviewing, and even psychological evaluations are all important and should be done, none of these specifically address sexual interest in children. Furthermore, only about 4% of all child sexual abusers have a criminal record; the majority of individuals who molest children have never been convicted and therefore, would likely pass a criminal background check and could end up having unrestricted access to children within the organization.
