Child sexual exploitation and abuse is a large-scale global issue that has been drastically rising since the advent of the internet that has brought about communication technologies enabling new ways to sexually abuse children. Prevent It is a free, anonymous, internet-delivered, and clinician-guided, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) intervention for adults who are concerned about their urges to engage in child sexual exploitation or abuse behaviors. It was developed based on many years of clinical experience from working with this patient group, as well as results from several previous research projects in the area of child sexual abuse. Using a randomized controlled trial with waitlist control - a scientifically rigorous design - we will evaluate the effectiveness of the Swedish, German, and Portuguese versions of Prevent It 2.0 - an updated version of the initial Prevent It program. This evaluation is being funded by the European Commission and will consist of an international, multicentre, and academically initiated randomized controlled clinical trial for which those actively enrolled in Prevent It 2.0 will be compared to a waitlist control for each language version (Swedish, German, and Portuguese). Data will be collected across the three sites (Sweden, Germany, and Portugal), in their corresponding languages (Swedish, German, and Portuguese), over 18 months. All data will be collected through the Iterapi platform that will be housed in a server by members of the Swedish subgroup located at Linköping University (LiU), Sweden. PRIORITY will provide intervention to 420 participants who will be recruited via multiple channels (darknet, Clearnet, police referral). Participation in the program will take place on both Darknet and Clearnet. All contact with participants, the treatment evaluations, and termination of the contact, is conducted via the online treatment platform Iterapi. The Iterapi platform is designed specifically for clinical trials of internet-mediated CBT.
Child sexual abuse is a large-scale global problem, and with the internet and communication technologies enabling new ways to sexually abuse children, the problem is drastically increasing. Prevent It is a free, anonymous, internet-delivered, therapist assisted, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) intervention for individuals concerned about their sexual urges or behaviors involving children. The treatment program is based on many years of clinical experience from working with this patient group, results from several previous research projects. Using the scientifically rigorous design of a randomized controlled trial with waitlist control, we want to evaluate Prevent It 2.0 - an updated cognitive behavioral therapy treatment for individuals who are concerned about their sexual urges regarding children. The study design is an academically initiated randomized controlled clinical trial where Prevent It 2.0 is compared with waitlist control. Participants in the waitlist control will wait thirteen weeks before starting active treatment. While on the waitlist, participants will respond to questions about ongoing problematic sexual behavior. Recruitment will be carried out through multiple channels, and takes place on both "Darknet" and "Clearnet". All contact with participants, the treatment, evaluations, and termination of the contact, is conducted via the online treatment platform Iterapi, designed specifically for clinical trials of Internet-mediated CBT. The treatment contains nine modules over thirteen weeks and the content of the therapy is classic CBT.
This project will investigate if transcranial direct current stimulation can be used as treatment for Pedophilia. Treatment efficacy will be evaluated with behavioral tasks and the recording of eye-movement.
Pedophilic behaviors represent a public health problem with serious consequences. The investigators hypothesize a disruption in the decision-making strategies among sex offenders pedophiles. Highlight this type of abnormality would offer a specific treatment of a possible neuropsychological deficit (with cognitive remediation for instance) and perhaps avoid recurrences of this type of behavior.
