Interviewers' notes about deliberate self-harm (Questions H22-H24)
You will only ask these questions if you haven't already asked about
similar things in question H18. This means that you only get to ask
questions H22 to H24 when the child has not recently been very miserable
or irritable, and when the child has not recently lost interest in
favourite activities.
Parents and young people are generally very willing to answer questions
on deliberate self-harm, even though, in some cases, they are initially
taken aback by the questions. It is important to take your time over
this section, to thank informants for answering the questions and to
help them to orientate themselves back into the rest of the interview
by explaining what the next few questions are about. The pre-amble to
the next section will help you to do this.
