Summary

My study will employ a convergent mixed methods two-arm parallel randomized controlled design. The qualitative strand will primarily rely on semi-structured interview procedures to answer the following questions: (1) How do adolescents perceive and experience the phenomenon of nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI)? (2) What do adolescents believe needs to be done to address NSSI? The quantitative strand will primarily rely on clinical interview data, self-report measures, and an experimental task protocol to answer the following question: What is the impact of a brief mindfulness induction (versus a control condition) on self-injury attentional bias among self-injuring adolescents?

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Mindfulness

Participants will be instructed to focus on the sensations of breathing. Subsequently, whenever their minds wander to distressing thoughts or emotions, they will be instructed to acknowledge those thoughts or emotions, and then bring their attention back to the sensations of breathing.
