Abstract
The objective of this scoping review is to systematically map and provide an overview of self-report questionnaires used to assess childhood sexual abuse (CSA) in adult populations. This review focuses on how CSA is defined, operationalized, and linguistically framed within these instruments, including the wording of items and the extent to which emotional and subjective experiences are incorporated.
