Summary

The aim of the present research is to explore whether a brief intervention based on psychological theory can help people to avoid self-harming. The intervention is the Volitional Help Sheet (VHS), or "IF-THEN" plans, which will be tested in the context of trying to reduce self-harm.

Each participant will be randomly allocated to one of two conditions. The two conditions are: (1) a control condition, and (2) intervention (form multiple implementation intentions from a drop-down menu). The main outcome measure will be reduction in self-harm, which will be self-reported
