Description: Despite an increased understanding of developmental predictors that explain who is at risk of NSSI, we have little insight into momentary predictors that explain when people are at acute risk of NSSI thoughts, urges, and behavior in daily life. Using Ecological Momentary Assessment (experience sampling) in a high-risk sample of treatment-seeking individuals who report frequent NSSI, the DAILY project aims to advance science by (1) clarifying the short-term course and predictors of NSSI thoughts, urges, and behavior, (2) improving scientific understanding of the transition from NSSI thoughts/urges to NSSI behavior, and (3) providing novel data on the relationship of NSSI with suicidal thoughts and behaviors, disordered eating (restrictive eating, purging, binge-eating), and substance use (binge drinking and cannabis use). Providing answers to these clinically relevant questions will offer meaningful information to help guide the development of personalized interventions in treating individuals who self-injure.
