While we’ve made tremendous progress recruiting participants for our Help Wanted study, we still need 10 more contributors to meet our goal. Participants must be 18 to 30 years old, fluent in English and developed an attraction to prepubescent children during or prior to adolescence. The ultimate goal of Help Wanted is to develop and provide helpful resources to adolescents attracted to young children.
After we complete the anonymous interview process, we will analyze and summarize themes from the interviews and discuss how these themes will influence the development of a prevention intervention, one that is available to all youth with a sexual attraction to younger children. The prevention intervention will address the needs of adolescents attracted to children and promote their healthy development. We’ll also ensure that all materials destigmatize the act of asking for help.
