Beyond Cumulative Risk: A Scoping Review of the Application of the Polyvictimization Framework in Child Sexual Abuse Research
(co-occurring patterns). Results highlighted substantial inconsistencies in how CSA characteristics and PV were measured and analyzed, precluding definitive conclusions regarding the distinct contribution of CSA versus collective impact of PV. The review concludes that a comprehensive PV framework for driving CSA studies should move beyond the simplistic "more is worse" posit to explore how different types of victimization interconnect, interact, accumulate, and aggregate to differentially impact psycho-behavioral development.
