Life‐time prevalence and psychosocial correlates of adolescent direct self‐injurious behavior: A comparative study of findings in 11 European countries
Open accessAbstract
Objectives: To investigate the prevalence and associated psychosocial factors of occasional and repetitive direct self‐injurious behavior (D‐ SIB ), such as self‐cutting, ‐burning, ‐biting, ‐hitting, and skin damage by other methods, in representative adolescent samples from 11 European countries. Methods: Cross‐sectional assessment of adolescents was performed within the European Union funded project, Saving and Empowering Young Lives in Europe ( SEYLE ), which was conducted in 11 European countries. The representative sample comprised 12,068 adolescents (F/M: 6,717/5,351; mean age: 14.9 ± 0.89) recruited from randomly selected schools. Frequency of D‐ SIB was assessed by a modified 6‐item questionnaire based on previously used versions of the Deliberate Self‐Harm Inventory ( DSHI ). In addition, a broad range of demographic, social, and psychological factors was assessed. Results: Overall lifetime prevalence of D‐ SIB was 27.6%; 19.7% reported occasional D‐ SIB and 7.8% repetitive D‐ SIB . Lifetime prevalence ranged from 17.1% to 38.6% across countries. Estonia, France, Germany, and Israel had the highest lifetime rates of D‐ SIB , while students from Hungary, Ireland, and Italy reported low rates. Suicidality as well as anxiety and depressive symptoms had the highest odds ratios for both occasional and repetitive D‐ SIB . There was a strong association of D‐ SIB with both psychopathology and risk‐behaviors, including family related neglect and peer‐related rejection/victimization. Associations between psychosocial variables and D‐ SIB were strongly influenced by both gender and country. Only a minor proportion of the adolescents who reported D‐ SIB ever received medical treatment. Conclusion: These results suggest high lifetime prevalence of D‐ SIB in European adolescents. Prevalence as well as psychosocial correlates seems to be significantly influenced by both gender and country. These results support the need for a multidimensional approach to better understand the development of SIB and facilitate culturally adapted prevention/intervention.

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.
