Description
Study includes 13 Indigenous offenders and 14 corrections staff who participated in focus groups or personal interviews about non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) and its treatment. Responses are analyzed using a culturally informed qualitative approach. Culturally-informed and culturally-based interventions appear fundamental in reducing NSSI.
