First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how well a 20-week therapy called Dialectical Behavior Therapy for Adolescents (DBT-A) works for teens aged 13-18 who self-harm or have suicidal behavior. Researchers will track self-harm episodes, suicide attempts, depression, and quality of life right after treatment and at 3 and 12 months later. The goal is to see if this therapy helps in real-world clinics and who benefits most.
