Brief Summary

As a result of a randomized controlled trial (NCT02985047) BA is continuously offered to persons with self-harm at risk for suicide in Skåne, Sweden.

Participants will be identified through suggestion from persons with an active BA contract. Interviews, estimated to last 30-60 minutes, will be analyzed by a phenomenological hermeneutic method or by content analysis depending on richness and depth in the interviews. Findings from this study will be published.
