Wadman, R., Nielsen, E., O’Raw, L., Brown, K., Williams, A. J., Sayal, K., & Townsend, E. (2019). "These things don't work": young people's views on harm minimisation strategies as a proxy for self-harm: a mixed methods approach. Archives of Suicide Research, 24(3), 1-18. https://doi.org/10.1080/13811118.2019.1624669

Objective: Although UK clinical guidelines make tentative recommendations for 'harm minimisation' strategies for repeated self-harm, this is in the absence of empirical evidence supporting their acceptability or effectiveness. We explore young peopl... Read More about "These things don't work": young people's views on harm minimisation strategies as a proxy for self-harm: a mixed methods approach.
