Self-Injury Treatment and Recovery in Veterans (STRIVe)
July 28, 2023 updated by: VA Office of Research and Development
A Brief Intervention to Reduce Nonsuicidal Self-Injury and Improve Functioning in Veterans
Nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI) refers to the intentional destruction of one's own body tissue without suicidal intent and for purposes that are not socially sanctioned.
While NSSI has been understudied among Veterans, the lifetime prevalence rate of NSSI in Veterans is approximately three times higher than the general population.
Moreover, NSSI is associated with increased risk for violence, psychiatric distress, and marked impairment in psychosocial functioning.
Even though NSSI is distinct from suicidal behaviors in several important ways, NSSI remains a strong predictor of a future suicide attempt.
The primary goal of this project is to evaluate the treatment and acceptability of a brief intervention for NSSI that aims to reduce psychosocial impairment and NSSI behaviors in Veterans.

Detailed Description
Nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI) refers to the intentional destruction of one's own body tissue without suicidal intent and for purposes that are not socially sanctioned.
While NSSI has been understudied among Veterans, the lifetime prevalence rate of NSSI in Veterans is approximately three times higher than the general population.
Moreover, NSSI is associated with increased risk for violence, psychiatric distress, and marked impairment in psychosocial functioning.
Even though NSSI is distinct from suicidal behaviors in several important ways, NSSI remains a strong predictor of a future suicide attempt.
The primary goal of this project is to evaluate the treatment and acceptability of a brief intervention for NSSI that aims to reduce psychosocial impairment and NSSI behaviors in Veterans.
This treatment, known as the Treatment for Self-Injurious Behaviors (T-SIB) incorporates evidence-based approaches to replace NSSI with behaviors that improve psychoso ial functioning.
A core component of T-SIB is functional assessment that identifies the antecedents and consequences of NSSI.
This project will enhance T-SIB by using ecological momentary assessment (EMA) to conduct NSSI functional assessment in-vivo.
EMA reduces retrospective recall bias and can increase engagement with therapeutic goals.

What is the study measuring?
Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Feasibility as measured by number of participants enrolled
Time Frame: 2 years after study enrollment begins
|
All participants (N = 40) will need to be enrolled by the end of the second year of the study to consider the recruitment benchmark met.
|
2 years after study enrollment begins
|
Feasibility as measured rate of retention
Time Frame: End of treatment, about nine weeks after beginning the study
|
Retention will be measured by the number of participants who complete at least six T-SIB treatment sessions.
This benchmark will be considered meet if at least 2/3 of the 20 participants randomized to T-SIB complete at least 6 treatment sessions.
|
End of treatment, about nine weeks after beginning the study
|
Secondary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Number of participants who report satisfaction with the T-SIB treatment
Time Frame: End of treatment, about nine weeks after beginning the study
|
Participant satisfaction will be measured with the Client Satisfaction Questionnaire (CSQ-8).
Total scores on the CSQ-8 range from 8 to 32, which higher scores indicating higher satisfaction.
A cut score of 24 will be used such that if the CSQ-8 score exceeds 24, that patient is deemed to have been satisfied with the treatment.
