Designing a better self-harm assessment tool with and for autistic adults

About the study

Researchers at the University of Nottingham are developing a new self-harm assessment tool with, and for, autistic adults. This study aims to test how well the tool works, so it can be used in future research to help understand and support autistic people who self-harm.

What will it involve?

Fill out an online survey about yourself (like your age, gender and ethnicity), as well as your autistic traits, mental health and self-harm. You can choose to complete a short part of the survey again in two weeks.

Participants must fulfil the following eligibility criteria:

• You are an autistic adult (diagnosed or self-identifying), aged 18 years old or over, with lived experience of self-harm and/or self-injury;
• You live in the UK.
