Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

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?

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Mindfulness condition

The brief mindfulness induction will be modeled after basic mindfulness skills commonly used in mindfulness-based interventions and tailored to target distressing thoughts and feelings.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Mindfulness

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

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.

Control condition

Participants assigned to the control task will be instructed to "let your mind wander freely without trying to focus on anything in particular."

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group
