Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The primary study parameter is to test whether the tool is promising for individuals to help them manage their CSAM use. To do that, participants will 1) test the software, 2) complete a survey at four time points, and 3) share their experiences with the tool in an exit-interview. In addition, practitioners will participate in a focus group sharing their experiences and perceptions of the overall intervention program and the hindering and facilitating factors of the implementation of the intervention.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
The secundary study parameter is to develop a blueprint to maximize the reach and impact of safety tech for offender prevention within the EU. This will be done based on 1) the knowledge generated from the scoping review (which was part of the first stage of the project regarding the design and development of Salus) and 2) a discussion with expert stakeholders, including service providers, online platform providers and device developers, to discuss how best to maximize the scope and reach of safety tech for perpetrator prevention.
