简要总结
This study is an open-label, randomized controlled trial evaluating the efficacy of the Unified Protocol for Transdiagnostic Treatment of Emotional Disorders in Adolescents (UP-A) in reducing non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) among Chinese adolescents. This program is an annualized cognitive-behavioral therapy designed for adolescents aged 12-17 years who engage in non-suicidal self-injury behavior. Its primary goal is to reduce the intensity and frequency of distressing emotional experiences by teaching adolescents how to confront and respond to these emotions in more adaptive ways. In turn, this helps reduce self-injury impulses and behaviors. The UP-A is adapted to the Chinese cultural context and delivered as a blended treatment, combining face-to-face and online sessions.

结局指标
主要结局
Non-suicidal self-injury behavior
时间窗: Up to 3 months post-baseline (measured at baseline, 1, 2, and 3 months)
The Adolescent Self-Harm Behavior Scale includes 18 items describing forms of self-harm. The scale is divided into two dimensions: frequency and severity of self-harm. Self-harm frequency is scored on a 4-point scale (0-3), with the following categories: 0 times, 1 time, 2-4 times, and more than 5 times. The severity of physical injury is scored on a 5-point scale (0-4), with the following categories: none, mild, moderate, severe, and extremely severe. The product of frequency and injury severity for each item is used as the overall score for NSSI, with higher scores indicating more severe NSSI behavior.
次要结局
- Depression(Up to 3 months post-baseline (measured at baseline, 1, 2, and 3 months))
- Anxiety(Up to 3 months post-baseline (measured at baseline, 1, 2, and 3 months))
