The Winter 2025 issue of the B4U-ACT Quarterly Review has just been released and is available here.


This issue begins the fifth volume of B4QR, and includes short critical summaries of six studies published between July and November 2024. The featured scholar in the “Meet The New Generation” section of this issue is Rachel Murphy, a PhD candidate at the University of Central Lancashire in the United Kingdom. The full text is available to read for free on our site.

B4U-ACT is supporting a new study from researchers at Spalding University in Louisville, Kentucky. The research project aims to investigate the effects of minor-attracted persons disclosing their attractions on their mental health. 

People who are 18 or older, have disclosed an attraction to minors to another adult, and have not committed any sexual crimes against minors, are invited to participate by taking a 10-15 minute survey. Interested potential participants can learn more or complete the survey using the following link:

The researchers have also provided the following message with additional information about the study:


Hello,

My name is Mindy Yates. I am a doctoral student in the School of Professional Psychology at Spalding University. I am inviting you to join a study about how successfully telling another adult about your attraction to minors affected your mental health. This study will also ask about basic information about who you told, what you believe made it go well, and what could have made it go even better, if anything.
To participate, you must be at least 18 years old, be attracted to minors, have successfully told an adult about your attraction to minors, and have never committed any sexual crimes against minors.
You will be asked to complete a 10-15 minute online survey. Your name and any personal information will not be asked. Your participation in this study will be completely anonymous. Your IP address will not be linked to your responses in this study. There is no penalty for exiting from this study at any time.
