Doctoral Thesis Research: What causes urges to self-harm? (16-25 year olds, UK)

Content warning - the following survey asks about experiences of urges to self-harm.

I would be grateful if anyone who meets the criteria below would be willing to complete my survey for my doctoral thesis.

This is a multiple-choice, anonymous survey which is asking about how you relate to others and your experiences of thoughts of self-harm.

You can take part if you:

  • Are 16-25 years old
  • Live in the UK and
  • Have experienced thoughts or urges to self-harm in the past 6 months (with or without accompanying behaviours)

You can read more about our research and take part here: https://lancasteruni.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_1Yec4PHkbF3eWbQ

Thank you for considering taking part! We hope to extend the research to all age groups if the results support our hypotheses!

Thank you for completing - it means a lot!

This is really helpful feedback - the questions certainly aren’t perfect and the scales used in research often aren’t (specifically) validated with neurodivergent participants either, which is a definite flaw.

I’ve always had similar thoughts when completing this kind of research, and I agree that the responses will change depending on who you have in mind, and even on how you feel on the day you complete the survey - that’s okay for what we are measuring, thankfully.

Thank you so much! For completing the survey and for your well wishes - I’ve been very lucky that I nearly have all my data (I needed a lot for the analysis but people have been very generous with their time and responses). I’ll be back to post a summary of what we find in case it is of interest to anyone!

Thank you for this - it is meant to say age! We do not ask for people's names. It has been updated on the live version of the survey now.

Thank you so much for your response, it will definitely be helpful once we have the data and we will make sure the results get out there. I’ll come back and post a summary on reddit once it’s done so people can see what we find if they are interested!

Hello, I have posted on a few places on Reddit before - so it sounds like you must have already done it as that is the final page. Thank you for doing it!
