Healthcare needs and barriers to care among female partners of male suspects of child sexual abuse material offences in Sweden: a qualitative interview study
Female partners of CSAM offenders have healthcare needs that are currently inadequately met by the Swedish healthcare system. Healthcare professionals, both in primary care and sexual medicine clinics, may significantly contribute to improving treatment for this population. However, there is a need for improvement of healthcare practitioners' knowledge of the experiences and needs of family members of sexual offenders.
