Measuring technology-facilitated sexual violence and abuse: a scoping review protocol of existing measurements.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Technology-facilitated sexual violence and abuse (TFSVA) refers to a range of behaviours in which digital technologies are used to facilitate both virtual and face-to-face sexual harm. The proliferation of smartphone usage and increasing internet penetration rates across the world have made it easier for individuals to become perpetrators and victims of TFSVA. Since empirical studies of TFSVA remain limited in the academic arena, and there is an absence of evidence to support the development of a standardised TFSVA measurement, this review aims to explore what TFSVA measurements are currently available and their potential use in measuring TFSVA.

Methods and analysis

This scoping review will be structured according to the Joanna Briggs Institute recommended frame
