= 1 focus group with four participants). Strengths and challenges of implementation, the sensitivity associated with the topic of CSA, and the acceptability and feasibility of engagement of stakeholders were identified as themes. The complexities of implementation of this CSA prevention model in an urban public-charter school, in a high-need neighborhood, will be presented for others implementing similar preventive interventions.
