UCL Influences on Self-Harm (ISH) project
05 August 2020
We are inviting participants to take part in an online study in which we measure your thoughts about self-harm, with telephone input from a research assistant. The session will take around 30 mins. It will involve asking questions about you and your friends'/relatives' past history of self-harm, and rating your thoughts about self-harm before and after a series of three scenarios. These scenarios are designed to minimise any triggering effects, and we have built in a series of safeguards.
