AB  - Background: There is a high demand for evidence-based and cost-effective 
      treatment concepts for convicted individuals who sexually abused children (ISAC) 
      and individuals who consumed child sexual exploitation material (ICCSEM) under 
      community supervision (CS). The @myTabu-consortium developed a guided web-based 
      intervention for convicted ISAC and ICCSEM under CS consisting of six online 
      modules targeting psychological meaningful risk factors. The study aims to 
      evaluate the effectiveness of this guided web-based intervention in reducing 
      dynamic risk factors and the risk to re-offend compared to a placebo condition. 
      Furthermore, these dynamic risk factors are measured before and after every 
      module to evaluate their individual effectiveness to reduce the respective risk 
      factor as well as risk to re-offend. This clinical trial protocol describes the 
      planned methods as well as the intervention concept. Methods: The methodological 
      design is a placebo controlled randomized add-on trial (N = 582) with follow-ups 
      at 8 points in time. The placebo condition controls for attention and expectation 
      effects and comprises the same amount of modules with a comparable temporal 
      effort as the experimental intervention. The trial is conducted as an add-on to 
      community supervision as usually done. Primary outcomes are dynamic risk factors 
      assessed by self-report risk assessment tools and officially recorded 
      re-offenses. Discussion: To the best of our knowledge, the study is the first to 
      compare the (cost-) effectiveness of a guided web-based intervention for 
      convicted ISAC and ICCSEM under community supervision against a placebo 
      condition. Methodological limitations (e.g., potential ceiling- or 
      volunteers-effects) are discussed. Clinical Trial Registration: German Clinical 
      Trial Register (DRKS 00021256). Prospectively registered: 24.04.2020.
