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.

Dear fellow evaluators. I am appealing for your help.

I have been on a long road towards finalizing my thesis towards a Masters degree in Evaluation. I am finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel and am conducting the interview stage as part of my data collection. I am researching how context is integrated into evaluations that use the OECD DAC evaluation criteria. I feel very strongly about this subject because I feel this is an area that is often spoken of, called for but lacks practical application. I am looking at understanding this issue more in an attempt to hopefully improve our evaluation practice. If you have experience conducting evaluations using the OECD DAC criteria and are open to a 45-minute online call, I’d love to hear from you. Interviews will be confidential and scheduled at your convenience.
If you are willing to speak with me please comment here or message me directly or email me at natashavoronova@gmail.com.
As a gesture of gratitude, I would be happy to share my research findings with you and should there be enough interest, organize an online presentation and invite you to it. 
Thank you.
Natalia
