Active Control
Group I: Project SAVE ("Stop Adolescent Violence Everywhere") SSIExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
SAVE is a \~30-minute, self-administered, web-based program that uses components of cognitive behavior therapy and dialectical behavior therapy designed to decrease self-injurious behaviors in youth. The Project SAVE SSI has 4 general content sections: (1) explaining the science behind how changing your actions (i.e. decreasing self-injurious behaviors) can positively impact your emotions over time; (2) providing scientific evidence and testimonials from other teens that have successfully decreased their self-injurious behaviors and noticed positive change as a result; (3) evidence-based tips for overcoming common obstacles to decreasing self-injurious behaviors in day to day life; and (4) offering an opportunity for youth to share their own thoughts and advice on what they have learned with other teenagers who are facing similar challenges.
Group II: Supportive Therapy ("Share Your Feelings") SSIActive Control1 Intervention
Supportive Therapy SSI (Schleider \& Weisz, 2018): \~30-minute, self-administered, web-based program that uses components of supportive therapy to encourage feelings sharing. The supportive therapy SSI encourages participants in the control group to identify and express their feelings by (1) explaining why sharing feelings is natural, important, and helpful and (2) including testimonials from teens who have shared their feelings with close others.
