Hi everyone,

I’m looking for individuals aged 18 and above to complete a 15-20 minute anonymous online questionnaire.

The questionnaire is part of a larger research study aiming to understand associations between self-harm and particular psychological and interpersonal factors. It focuses on relationships, awareness and regulation of emotions, and details around self-harming history (if relevant).
You have the right to cease participation at any stage while completing the survey.

I’m looking for individuals aged 18 years and older to complete a short 15-20minute online questionnaire examining psychological and interpersonal factors that may be associated with self-injury. This study is aimed to contribute to the current knowledge base in order to assist those suffering or in need.

I’m writing to tell you about an online research study related to the
experiences of young people who physically hurt themselves
(self-injure). Despite the prevalence of self-injury, very little
research has addressed the implications of self-injury for young
people, particularly those who may physically hurt themselves without
others knowing. In order to better help this population, we need to
learn from those who have tried to physically hurt themselves. The
knowledge we gain from your participation will have important
implications for understanding how to help those who physically hurt
themselves.

Individuals between the ages of 13-21 who have physically hurt
themselves are invited to participate.

This online study will take about 30 minutes of your time. You should
have access to a personal computer in a secure, distraction-free
environment.

Your answers to these questions will be completely anonymous and confidential.

This study has been approved by the Albert Einstein College of
Medicine’s Committee on Clinical Investigations (IRB # 2011-1129).

I am a graduate student in the psychology department working with Dr. Shawn Cahill, Ph.D at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.  I am currently conducting a research study examining non-suicidal self injury and other coping behaviors individuals use in response to stressors.

Participation is completely voluntary.  This study is all online, so the survey may be completed at your convenience from any PC/Mac that has internet access. Responses are completely anonymous so that responses will not be linked to any personal or identifying information.

If you wish to participate, please visit the following link:

Study Information:

Study Title:   Coping Behaviors and Self Injury: An Internet Study

Study Description:  The purpose of this research study is to examine experiences related to certaincoping behaviors that some individuals experience in response to stressors. Approximately 600 people will be recruited to participate in this internet study through this and similar websites.  If you agree to participate, you will be asked to complete a survey that will take approximately 45-60 minutes to complete.  The questions will ask about various coping behaviors, including instances of intentional injury that is not accompanied by a desire to commit suicide, and your experiences related to these behaviors. The survey will also ask questions about general health and mental health history, as well as personality variables such as questions regarding emotion regulation and impulsivity.
