The Epidemiology and Phenomenology of Non-Suicidal Self-Injurious Behavior Among Adolescents: A Critical Review of the Literature
Abstract
This article critically reviewed the research addressing the epidemiology and phenomenology of non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) among adolescents. Articles were identified through a search of Medline and Psychinfo. Findings indicate a lifetime prevalence of NSSI ranging from 13.0% to 23.2%. Reasons for engaging in NSSI include to regulate emotion and to elicit attention. Correlates of NSSI include a history of sexual abuse, depression, anxiety, alexithymia, hostility, smoking, dissociation, suicidal ideation, and suicidal behaviors. Suggested areas of future research include identifying the psychiatric diagnoses associated with NSSI among adolescents, determining the temporal link between NSSI and suicide attempts, learning more about the course of NSSI, understanding the biological underpinnings of NSSI, and identifying effective treatments for NSSI in adolescents.

“The term deliberate self-harm is used by researchers in the US to refer to NSSI (see Gratz, 2001; Gratz, Conrad, & Roemer, 2002) while researchers in the UK use the term to refer to any purposeful, nonlethal self-injurious act engaged in with or without suicidal intent (see Hawton, Rodham, Evans et…”

“Further, many research studies have failed to separate acts of non-suicidal self-injury and suicidal behaviors, ie, behaviors engaged in with the intent to die as a result of the act (eg, Hawton, Rodham, Evens et al, 2002 ; Hawton, Sumkin, Bale et al, 2004 ; Hurry, 2000 ).”

“…majority of clinicians and researchers are now in agreement that there is a distinct type of beha- vior (NSSI) engaged in for reasons other than to end one’s life, and have argued that it should be differentiated from behaviors that are suicidal in nature (Muehlenkamp, 2005; Nock & Kessler, 2006).”

“Because rates of NSSI have increased in recent years (Jacobson and Gould 2007; Ross and Heath, 2002; Whitlock, Eckenrode, and Silverman, 2006), there is new urgency to better understand and treat the behavior.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
