Astha Ramaiya [Co-author] Shared the Journal Article - Published in Child Abuse & Neglect, June 2026
A new systematic review published in Child Abuse & Neglect examined the link between mental health and technology-facilitated child sexual exploitation and abuse (TF-CSEA). Analysing 10 studies with over 25,000 participants across seven countries, researchers found that depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, and prior trauma were consistently associated with victimisation. Crucially, the relationship appears bidirectional with mental health difficulties both preceding and resulting from exploitation; creating potential cycles of repeated harm. Perhaps most striking: traditional parental monitoring through technological surveillance showed limited protective effects. What actually mattered? The quality of parent-child relationships including, open communication, emotional warmth, and trust. The findings suggest prevention efforts should combine universal school-based programmes building emotional resilience with targeted support for high-risk youth, while parent education should prioritise connection over control. With 12.5% of children globally experiencing online solicitation annually, understanding these psychological pathways is essential for effective child protection.

This is a free seminar organised by the Victorian Regional Network Committee of the AES. Our seminar series provides an opportunity for you to meet with AES members and others in the evaluation community and to share and learn from the experiences of fellow evaluators.
Seminar overview
An enduring challenge for evaluators is how to recruit evaluation champions and keep stakeholders engaged. This session will share findings from research conducted as part of Alison’s PhD which examined the role of non-evaluators, and identified strategies that can be used to support engagement.
The session will use a fable, The animal farm and a postal worker, to illustrate key points about evaluators and evaluation champions. This illustrative anecdote captures the importance of having non-evaluators on evaluation teams who can assist with generating enthusiasm around evaluation. This seminar will present research undertaken with non-evaluators who were able to make evaluation relevant, meaningful and useful for their colleagues working in Australian non-profit organisations. Based on interviews and case studies, the seminar will share the perspectives of non-evaluators undertaking evaluation in culturally diverse contexts. It will highlight their insights into how to overcome interpersonal barriers to evaluation by developing meaningful interpersonal relationships and understanding their colleagues as individuals. It will conclude with a discussion around their practical strategies and the implications of this research for developing equitable and inclusive working environments.
