NCT ID NCT07424872
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study uses an anonymous online survey to ask people who have a sexual interest in children about their therapy preferences. The goal is to understand what makes them more or less willing to seek help, especially through online therapy. Researchers hope to find ways to reduce the risk of child sexual abuse by making therapy more accessible and less frightening.
