Internet / Social media use and Self-harm / Suicidal behaviour in Adolescent patients.

  • Applicant: Rosemary Sedgwick
  • Project ID: 18-102

The internet and social media are now widely used by young people and there are increasing concerns about the potentially harmful effects of this. This project will investigate whether clinicians are considering this during assessment and whether any associations can be found between social media / internet use and self-harm / suicidal behaviour in adolescents.
