Participants needed for online research study on suicide and nonsuicidal self-injury

Participants needed for online research study on suicide and nonsuicidal self-injury

Researchers at Glasgow and Stirling University are developing a questionnaire to measure thoughts about suicide and nonsuicidal self-injury. Understanding these thoughts may help us to develop more effective treatments, differentiate suicide and nonsuicidal self-injury, and improve quality of life.

We are seeking adults (18 years+) who are willing to complete the first version of the questionnaire. Participants will be asked to say how much they agree or disagree with each thought. To be eligible to take part, you must have thought about or engaged in suicide or nonsuicidal self-injury at some point in your lifetime. Participation is voluntary, completely anonymous, and will be online. Participants will be entered into a prize draw to win one of five £100 Amazon vouchers. Participating will take about 45 minutes. Please only take part if you are confident that you can complete the entire study.

To learn more and take part, please visit the study webpage http://tinyurl.com/zb8aulb or contact the lead researcher: Dr Andy Siddaway (andy.siddaway@stir.ac.uk). Please pass this information on to anyone you think might be interested in taking part.
