A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study aims to prevent and reduce the consumption of Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM) through a combination of a Therapist Chat Service (TCS) and self-help modules based on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) principles. Participants will be divided into groups receiving different interventions, including TCS only, self-help only, and a combination of both, with a waitlist control group for comparison. The effectiveness of these interventions will be evaluated based on reductions in CSAM behaviors and improvements in mental well-being over a four-week period. The study seeks to provide insights into the best approaches for addressing sexual behavioral disorders related to CSAM consumption.
