What it is for
The research aims to understand how UK adults engage with online content related to suicide, self-harm, and eating disorders, including how such content is encountered, its perceived impact, and how experiences vary across different groups. It also seeks to explore the role of support tools - particularly the role of features that help users to avoid and take other action in relation to legal content - and wider interventions to better protect and empower users in relation to S/SH/ED content.
