| Primary | User Experience Questionnaire | This is an acceptability measure of app use designed to assess perceptions of the app, with items rated on a 7-point Likert scale ranging from -3 to +3. A score of -3 reflects the poorest user experience, while a score of +3 represents the highest level of satisfaction. A score of 0 indicates a neutral experience. The questionnaire consists of 26 items divided across six subscales: Attractiveness (overall impression), Perspicuity (ease of understanding), Efficiency (task completion speed), Dependability (reliability), Stimulation (engagement and enjoyment), and Novelty (innovation and creativity). For each of the six dimensions, the mean score of the items that correspond to that dimension is calculated. Higher scores across these subscales reflect a better overall user experience, while lower scores highlight specific areas for improvement. For the purposes of this analysis, the average of all dimensions mean scores were calculated for each participant. | | Posted | | Median | Inter-Quartile Range | score on a scale | | 3 months | | | | ID | Title | Description |

FIT comprised of the following key elements: Session 1 - formulation of personal drivers of SH behaviour and motivational interviewing combined with mental imagery techniques; Session 2 - mental imagery of a past achievement, formulation of goals (e.g.,a desired behaviour incompatible with or alternative to SH) and functional imagery plan to achieve them; Session 3 - practice and refinement of functional imagery, problem-solving of challenges. Follow-up phone-call sessions focused on refining functional imagery practice, problem-solving, motivational encouragement, and personalisation of the app use. Participants receiveed smartphone app-based reminders (from Imaginator app), exercises and support from the second FIT session. Upon completion of the follow-up sessions, participants were invited to an outcome assessment after 1 week, at approximately 3 months post intervention. Optional user-led feedback interviews with participants were carried out upon study completion (after final assessment). |

| Other Pre-specified | 11-item Behaviour Supplement to the Borderline Symptom List | This is an 11-item scale measuring engagement in other risky, self-destructive behaviours (e.g., binge eating, substance misuse). The items are designed to assess the frequency and severity of these behaviors, which are commonly associated with borderline personality disorder. Each item is rated on a Likert scale from 0 to 4, with 0 representing "Not at all", indicating no engagement in the behavior during the assessed period, and 4 representing "Daily or more often", indicating the participant engaged in the behavior on a daily basis or more frequently. The total score is calculated by summing the responses. The scale has a minimum value of 0 and a maximum value of 44, with higher scores indicating more frequent or severe engagement in these behaviors. | | Posted | | Median | Inter-Quartile Range | score on a scale | | 3 months | | | | ID | Title | Description |

| Other Pre-specified | Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT) | This is a 10-item measure of alcohol misuse and possible dependence, in which participants are asked to rate items related to their drinking (e.g. 'How often do you have a drink containing alcohol') on a 5-point scale ranging from 0 to 4. A score of 0 indicates "Never" engaging in the behavior (e.g., never drinking alcohol or never experiencing a specific consequence), while a score of 4 represents "Daily or almost daily", reflecting the highest level of engagement. The AUDIT is an effective means of identifying hazardous or harmful drinking behaviour. The total score is obtained by summing the individual item scores, with the scale ranging from 0 to 40. Higher scores indicate a greater risk of alcohol misuse, with scores of 8 or higher commonly used to identify individuals at risk for hazardous or harmful drinking. Conversely, lower scores suggest minimal or no alcohol-related problems. | | Posted | | Median | Inter-Quartile Range | score on a scale | | 3 months | | | | ID | Title | Description |

| Other Pre-specified | Cannabis Use Disorder Identification Test Revised (CUDIT-R) | Thisis an 8-item measure used to screen for problem cannabis use. Participants are asked to rate a series of items related to their cannabis use (e.g., "How often do you use cannabis") on a 5-point Likert scale, where 0 represents "Never" or no engagement in the behavior, and 4 represents "Daily or almost daily", indicating the highest level of cannabis use. The total score is calculated by summing the responses, with the scale ranging from 0 to 40. A higher score indicates greater severity of cannabis misuse, and individuals with higher scores may be at risk for problematic cannabis use. Conversely, a lower score suggests minimal or no problematic cannabis use. | | Posted | | Median | Inter-Quartile Range | score on a scale | | 3 months | | | | ID | Title | Description |
