This project aims to evaluate the Help Wanted Prevention Intervention, an online program to provide people with a sexual attraction to children the skills and resources to support their commitment to keep children safe and to improve the participants well-being. In phase one, ten men with a sexual attraction to children who have never had a contact offense with a child will be asked to go through an abbreviated version of the participant procedures that will be used in study phase two (described next). Specifically, the ten participants will complete one of the online surveys, review the Help Wanted program, and participate in a 30-60 minute anonymous audio call with a member of the study team to provide feedback on the study procedures and materials (e.g., consent form, recruitment form). Feedback from phase one will inform changes to study procedures for phase two. Phase two consists of a large-scale evaluation of the Help Wanted program. Three hundred men with a sexual attraction to children who have never had a contact offense with a child or accessed the Help Wanted Program will be randomly selected to be part of one of two groups: the program group (N = 200) or the control group (N = 100). Both groups will be asked to complete an online survey before reviewing the Help Wanted Program, provide feedback on the program over a one-month period, and complete another online survey immediately after reviewing the program and three months after reviewing the program. Participants in the control group will have a one month waiting period after the first online survey, during which the participants will receive alternative resources and supports for mental health and sexual attraction to children. After the one month waiting period, participants in the control group will complete one additional online survey before reviewing the Help Wanted program and completing the two final online surveys (one immediately after reviewing the program, one three months after reviewing the program). Survey questions will ask about participants thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, including questions about the participants overall well-being and sexual attraction to children. All study materials and resources are in English. Resources provided to participants are also in English, but provide services in over 30 countries to include participants who may reside in countries outside of the United States. Participation is anonymous and all data will be kept confidential.
The goal of this clinical trial is to test the equivalence of two delivery modalities of a universal child sexual abuse prevention program, Safe Touches: usual vs. modified. The aims are to: 1. Determine the equivalence of effectiveness between usual and modified Safe Touches 2. Assess the maintenance of gains between usual and modified Safe Touches 3. Examine factors that may impact the future dissemination and implementation
The overall aim of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of Mi Bridge to motivate high risk participants to admit to treatment. The main research question is: Is Mi Bridge, an anonymous online program based on the principles for Motivational Interviewing, effective in making high risk individuals for committing child sexual abuse prone to seek treatment for problems related to sexual urges involving minors at a health care facility?
This is a feasibility study designed to inform the development of a multinational study of the effectiveness of a tertiary prevention program for child sexual abuse. This study targets adult men who have engaged in child sexual abuse, and will be implemented within the Minnesota Department of Corrections. Data will include measures of the implementation process, short-terms changes in criminogenic factors, and staff and participant factors that could influence outcomes.
The goal of this clinical trial is to test the effectiveness of a parent-focused child sexual abuse prevention program (Smart Parents) delivered to parents enrolled in a parent education program (Parents as Teachers; PAT). The main questions the trial aims to answer are: 1. Does PAT + Smart Parents improve parents' CSA-related awareness and protective behaviors compared to PAT as usual? 2. Are potential gains maintained 12- and 24-months post intervention? 3. What parent-, provider-, and organizational-level factors hold promise for future dissemination and implementation efforts?
This interventional study aims to examine the effect of implementing new tools for preventing child sexual abuse (CSA) using a designed digital application for parents/teachers. The main question of this study is How is the effect of the Mobile Application for Prevention of Sexual Violence in Elementary School-aged Children by Involving the Roles of Parents and School Teachers in West Java on knowledge, attitudes, communication practices, and self-awareness of parents and teachers in West Java. Two randomized groups of parents will receive or not receive a package of information using a mobile application called MA_PESAN. The MA_PESAN application is precise and can increase teachers' and parents' knowledge, attitudes, communication practices, and self-awareness about preventing CSA. This application is recommended to be applied in all elementary-level schools.
İn this study, it was aimed to examine the effectiveness of the psychological resilience program for adolescent girls after sexual abuse.This study is a randomized controlled trial.
This study aims to compare the emotional processing in sexual offenders against children versus healthy volunteers using an objective electrophysiological measurement (EEG) during a facial emotion stimuli presentation task. Secondary goal is to assess emotion recognition performances in this population and evaluate the impact of various factors on these performances (type of emotion, age and sex of person expressing the emotion, neuropsychological and cognitive abilities of the subjects).
The purpose of the proposed study is to assess the effectiveness of the addition of a single-session child sexual abuse (CSA) prevention module (Smart Parents - Safe and Healthy Kids) on improving parents' knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors regarding CSA prevention for parents already receiving parent-education services. The investigators hypothesize that parents who receive the parenting curriculum and the CSA prevention module will (a) demonstrate significant improvement in CSA-related awareness (i.e., knowledge, attitudes) and protective behaviors from pre-test to post-test, and (b) demonstrate higher scores on CSA-related awareness and protective behaviors as compared to parents who only receive the parenting curriculum.
