Study Reveals Ineffectiveness of Self-Harm Interventions for Men, Highlighting Suicide Risk
Researchers at City St George's, University of London have conducted a study revealing that psychological interventions for self-harm are less effective for men compared to women. The study, published in The Lancet Regional Health—Europe, analyzed 46 randomized controlled trials with over 15,000 participants. It found that while females are more likely to report self-harm, males are significantly more likely to die by suicide. The research highlights a concerning gap in the effectiveness of current psychosocial interventions, which include therapies like cognitive behavior therapy, for men. The study emphasizes the need for tailored interventions that address the specific needs of men who self-harm, as current methods do not significantly reduce self-harm in males.
