I am a doctoral student in Fordham University’s Mood &amp; Behaviors Lab, conducting a study on the immediate psychological effects of accessing online content or engaging in online activities related to self-injury. Our study defines self injury broadly, so this may include skin picking for you! My study aims to understand how people engage with this content online and how it affects their mental health.

In order to participate in this study you must:

* Access or engage with content online relating to self-injurious thoughts and behaviors at least two times per week
* Be 18-35 years old
* Be comfortable reading and speaking English
* Have access to your own smartphone

Your participation is completely voluntary, and you can end the study at any time. All data collected in this study is confidential.

If you are interested in participating in the study, email us at the email address below. This study involves a 20-25 minute survey at this link followed by one week of short 1-2 minute surveys before and after you access online content related to self-injurious thoughts and behaviors. Participants will be compensated up to $20 in Amazon gift cards.
