The problem
Intervention: Talking for Change (TFC), a group-based perpetration prevention therapy program delivered to adults prior to offending
Who it was tested with: 40 adults referred to the program with risk factors for child sexual abuse, including paraphilic interests and sexual self-regulation problems.
Experience from people who deliver programmes: stories, case studies and lessons learned. Valuable for understanding how and why, and for spotting what to test next, but not a measure of effect.
"The feasibility study broadly addressed whether adult clients could be recruited to the program, the clinical profile of clients, and their satisfaction with the program." This quotation shows the study design focused on recruitment, participant characteristics, and acceptability rather than outcome measurement or causal inference about prevention effect.
The study is descriptive and does not measure reoffending, recidivism, or behavioural change outcomes. No control or comparison group limits conclusions about program effectiveness. Sample size of 40 evaluable participants from 162 referrals is small and selection bias is possible.
