Feasibility and acceptability of the Community Outpatient Psychotherapy Engagement Service for Self-harm (COPESS): randomised controlled trial
All progression criteria were met, supporting further evaluation of the intervention in a full-scale efficacy and/or cost-effectiveness trial. These findings add to the growing evidence base supporting the utility of brief psychological interventions for self-harm. COPESS has potential as a brief primary-care-based intervention for those struggling with self-harm.
