Blended Unified Protocol for Chinese Adolescents With Non-Suicidal Self-Injury: A Randomized Controlled Trial

The blended UP-A includes 8 weekly modules, 6 of which (Modules 2 - 7)are online self-guided sessions. The online self-guided sessions will last approximately 45 minutes each. Over the course of these 6 weeks, participants will also have 6 therapist-guided online sessions via videoconference, each lasting 30 minutes. Two face-to-face individual sessions are scheduled, one at the beginning of each (Module 1) and one at the end (Module 8), each with an expected duration of 90 minutes.

Participants in the control group will receive treatment as usual, including pharmacotherapy and routine clinical follow-up, as determined by their treating psychiatrists.
