[Evaluation of information programs on sexual assault in six elementary schools in east Montréal.]. / Evaluation de la mise sur pied d'un programme d'information sur les agresssions sexuelles dans dix écoles primaires de l'est de Montréal.

Within the sex education program given to four hundred and sixty five (465) students approximately eleven years in age, a new information project on exhibitionism, sexual harassment, rape and incest was introduced in the eighteen (18) sixth grade classes of ten (10) elementary schools in the east end of Montréal. The evaluation of the project implementation gives us good indications of the concerted action that is necessary, the process needed to elaborate teaching material and also shows the immediate reaction of educators, parents and, of course, the students concerned. Very little resistance to this new teaching was noted within the school system. All parents had been informed of the project, no negative comments were received after-wards at schools. Incest was perceived by children as a problem "you do not speak of ' because it is susceptible to bring about worse things than the abuse itself, normaly the separation of the parents or the emprisonment of the abusive parent.
