Deliberate self harm and suicide in adolescents
DSH and associated factors in adolescents in the general population
In partnership with Samaritans we undertook a school-based questionnaire survey to investigate deliberate self-harm and suicidal ideas in a large sample of 15 and 16 year olds. This was funded by the National Lottery Charities Board (now Community Fund). This study was conducted as part of the Child and Adolescent Self-harm in Europe (CASE) Study.
