Study selection and analysis: Randomised controlled trials (RCT) and
prospective observation studies (cohorts or case controls) of adult or adolescent perpetrators or potential perpetrators of child sexual abuse, or of children with sexual behaviour problems.
The strongest research methods for psychological
studies are: qualitative findings versus quantitative; experimental rather than descriptive or correlational; controlled - experiment, meta - analysis, and
observation designs over archival, case
study, computational modeling, content analysis, field experiment, interview, neuroimaging, quasi experiment, self - report inventory, random sample survey, or twin
study; and
prospective (where subjects are recruited prior to the proposed independent effects being administered) and longitudinal (where subjects are
studied at multiple time points) rather than retrospective or cross-section
study.
We encourage contributions on current and
prospective observation technologies for GHGs, modeling
studies to quantify budgets and / or uncertainties in GHG flux estimates, and evaluation and benchmarking of GHG estimates from Earth System Models using contemporary
observations.
We believe that typical measurement schedules in
prospective studies can not adequately capture (dis) continuity, because
observations of disorders tend to be intermittent (rather than continuous).
