Method of self-harm in adolescents and young adults and risk of subsequent suicide
Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry Mar 14, 2018
Beckman K, et al. - This study was performed to assess if some methods of self-harm in adolescents (10–17 years) and young adults (18–24 years) are associated with a particularly high risk of suicide. Furthermore, researchers ascertained how different self-harm methods might affect the probability of psychiatric follow-up. In this work, the risk of future suicide seemed to be particularly high when encountered with violent self-harm requiring medical hospitalisation among adolescents (both sexes) and among young adult women. For the latter group, this is the case for cutting requiring hospitalisation as well.
