sheffield hallam university, forensic psychology
The current study aims to explore the triggers and functions of self-harm within the general population via an online questionnaire.
Your Impact
There is very little research relating to individuals in the general population who self-harm, and findings are often inconclusive. Therefore, participation in the study will assist in further understanding this important area. If the triggers and functions associated with self-harm can be understood, then appropriate support measures can be put in place.
