Health condition(s) or problem(s) studied | Self harm |
Intervention | This trial aims to replicate Wood et al's (2001) study and continue evaluation of whether group psychotherapy is associated with decreased repetition of self harm in adolescents. Adolescents will be randomised to treatment as usual (TAU) or the group intervention (to be used in conjunction with TAU). The experimental arm involves attendance at six group sessions run by local clinicians. Participants can continue attending the group for up to one year. The group psychotherapy is manualised and based on problem solving and cognitive behavioural therapy. |

Primary outcome measure | Outcome assessments will be conducted at baseline, seven weeks, six months and one year. Outcomes of interest include repetition of self harm, changes in diagnosis, level of depressive symptoms and level of suicidal ideation. Service use and repetition of self harm will be monitored monthly. |
