Summary

This study tests an internet-based therapy called IERITA for teenagers aged 13-17 who have hurt themselves on purpose. The therapy teaches emotion regulation skills through online modules and therapist support. The goal is to see if this approach can help teens stop self-injuring.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
online behavioral therapy (IERITA)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could provide an effective online treatment option for teens who self-harm, making therapy more accessible.
What could go wrong
This is a relatively early study, and the therapy may not work for everyone. It also requires a parent to participate, which could limit who can benefit.
