A systematic review identifying personally modifiable factors for self-harm recovery in young people and the barriers and facilitators to their implementation
Young people identify diverse, personally modifiable factors that guide self-harm recovery alone or with support. These factors are context- and person-dependent, underscoring the need for flexible, individualized approaches. Future research should also include low- and middle-income countries and include stratified analyses by sex and gender to capture a broader range of experiences and recovery pathways.
