Summary
This interdisciplinary PhD will provide transferable skills in epidemiology, advanced statistical methods, interviewing, study design, recruitment, and management. The project will provide an in-depth understanding of the relationship between substance use and self-harm, to inform the development of interventions. Associations will be explored i) over the long-term (from adolescence to adulthood) using data from a world-leading birth cohort study, and ii) over the short-term (hours/days/weeks), using an innovative digital diary approach called Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMA). Participants will complete regular surveys in real time using their Smartphones and some will be interviewed to gain deeper insights into their experiences.
