DIGITAL COMMUNITY OF CHILDREN'S SELF-HARM ON TIKTOK: Quantitative and Qualitative Methodology.

Non-Suicidal Self-Injury (NSSI) is a growing phenomenon on social networks, with an estimated prevalence of 30% among young people in Spain. In light of the aforementioned considerations, we present a methodology designed to identify and analyse the content created by young people on TikTok. On the one hand, a quantitative study was conducted using an API to collect and classify multimedia content through hashtags. In addition, a qualitative analysis was conducted to elaborate a systemic study of the content. The objective is thus to identify the content on TikTok pertaining to NSSI and to comprehend their codes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
