Feasibility and acceptability of experience sampling among LGBTQ+ young people with self-harmful thoughts and behaviours

This study was the first to determine whether it was feasible and acceptable to use experience sampling methods (ESM) among LGBTQ+ young people, who had current experiences of self-harm. Sixteen LGBTQ+ young people (16-25 years old) took part in the experience sampling study. This included a baselin...

Sixteen LGBTQ+ young people (16-25 years old) took part in the experience sampling study.

Qualitative data was thematically analysed to determine the acceptability (barriers and facilitators) of taking part in this study.
