Non‐suicidal self‐injury and its co‐occurrence with suicidal behavior: a epidemiological‐study among adolescents and young adults

Acta Psychiatrica Scandinavica Sep 30, 2020

Voss C, Hoyer J, Venz J, et al. - This study estimated the prevalence of lifetime non‐suicidal self‐injury (NSSI), its co‐occurrence with suicidal behavior, conditional probabilities, and their relationship with socio‐demographic characteristics, severity characteristics of suicidal behavior, and health service use. Researchers designed the epidemiological Behavior and Mind Health study in 2015/2016 including a random‐community sample of 1,180 participants aged 14‐21 years from Dresden, Germany, assessing lifetime NSSI using a self‐administered questionnaire and suicidal behaviors using standardized interviews. Of these, 19.3% reported any lifetime NSSI, and it was more commonly seen in females. In adolescents and young adults, particularly females, NSSI and co‐occurring suicidal behavior is common. The results of this study demonstrate that limited utilization of mental health care services underpins the need for improving recognition of NSSI and suicidal behavior as well as the accessibility of mental health care services during adolescence and emerging adulthood.
