Victimization | Treatment for Sexually Transmitted Infections
From the two studies, Toon and Gurusamy (2014) found a small, yet statistically significant difference between victims treated by SANEs, compared with those treated by non-SANE health professionals in regard to the treatment of STIs (i.e., provision of STI prophylaxis/antibiotics). Sexual assault/rape victims cared for by SANEs were significantly more likely to be offered treatment for an STI, compared with those cared for by non-SANE health professionals. |

Victimization | Administration of Emergency Contraception
From the two studies, Toon and Gurusamy (2014) also found a small, yet statistically significant difference between victims treated by a SANE, compared with those treated by a non-SANE health professional with regard to administration of emergency contraception (i.e., pregnancy prophylaxis). Sexual assault/rape victims cared for by SANEs were significantly more likely to be offered emergency contraception, compared with those cared for by non-SANE health professionals. |

Victimization | Rape Kits Collected
Looking at outcomes from two studies, Toon and Gurusamy (2014) found there were no significant between-group differences with regard to the proportion of rape kits collected from victims (i.e., complainants) seen by Sexual Assault Nurse Examiners (SANEs) and those seen by non-SANE health professionals. |
