Factors associated with current versus lifetime self-injury among high school and college students.

We sought to identify factors associated with current versus lifetime nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI) and factors that show consonant and distinct relationships with current NSSI for adolescents and young adults. Data came from a population-based survey of high school students (n = 9,985) and a national survey of college students (n = 7,801). Among both samples, […]

Adolescents’ self-reported suicide attempts, self-harm thoughts and their correlates across 17 European countries.

This study provides cross-national European […]

Photographs of self-injury: Production and reception in a group of self-injurers.

Photographs of self-injury (SI) on the Internet, according to the literature and the wider media, spread and encourage self-destructive behaviour, although very little is known about these effects.

Alcohol use and psychiatric comorbid disorders predict deliberate self-harm behaviour and other suicidality among depressed adolescent outpatients in 1-year follow-up.

Detection and effective treatment of continuing mood disorder, comorbid disorders and alcohol use may significantly improve clinician’s ability to identify adolescent outpatients at high risk of subsequent DSH and other suicidal behaviour. Treatment interventions should aim at full recovery of depression.

The present paper discusses the accounts of their self-hurting given by a sample of 25 UK adults who had not been in contact with health or other services for this reason.
