[Trigger Warning: self-harm and sensitive topics]
Hello everyone— Please consider participating in this research study exploring the use of sex as a form of self-injury. This study aims to understand what factors increase the likelihood of these behaviors in order to improve screening tools.
If you're a US citizen and 18 or older, you can contribute by filling out an anonymous survey (even if you do not have a history of self-harm). Right now, we are specifically seeking responses from those who have used sex as a form of self-injury.
Your participation could help mental health professionals better detect and support people struggling with self-harm.
