“…Consistent with some previous work (e.g., Bhugra et al, 2003; Ross & Heath, 2002), a number of gender differences in NSSI were found suggesting unique vulnerabilities among adolescent girls. As past studies examining gender differences in NSSI have yielded mixed results, a careful examination of gender at different developmental periods may be important for elucidating differential patterns of NSSI behavior among boys and girls.…”

“…Prevalence estimates from clinical samples are notably higher overall and reveal a similar developmental pattern; rates of NSSI are 2 to 3 times higher among adolescents (40–60%; Darche, 1990; DiClemente, Ponton, & Hartley, 1991) compared to adults (~21%; Briere & Gil, 1998). Some studies have reported that adolescent girls engage in NSSI more frequently than boys (Bhugra, Thompson, Singh, & Fellow-Smith, 2003; Ross & Heath, 2002). The evidence is conflicting, however, as other investigators have failed to find gender differences (e.g., DiClemente et al, 1991; Garrison et al, 1993; Gratz, Conrad, & Roemer, 2002; Hilt, Nock, et al, 2008).…”

Virtually no longitudinal research has examined psychological characteristics or events that may lead to adolescent nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI). This study tested a cognitive vulnerability-stress model as a predictor of NSSI trajectories. Clinically-referred adolescents (n =143; 72% girls) completed measures of NSSI, depression, attributional style, and interpersonal stressors during baseline hospitalization. Levels of NSSI were reassessed 3, 6, 9, 15, and 18 months later. Latent growth curve analyses suggested that a cognitive vulnerability-stress interaction significantly predicted increases in NSSI between 9 and 18 months post-baseline. This association remained significant while considering the longitudinal association between depressive symptoms and NSSI; results were not significantly mediated by depressive symptoms at 9 months.

W La Revue canadienne de psychiatrie, vol 55, no 5, mai 2010 274Objectives: Little research has focused on the relation of immigration and suicidal behaviour in youth. Nevertheless, the impact of migration on the mental health of youth is an issue of increasing societal importance. This review aimed to present studies on the prevalence of suicidal behaviour in immigrant youth in various countries and to provide possible explanations for suicidal behaviour in immigrant youth, especially regarding acculturation. Methods:The review included a literature search to locate articles on the subject of suicidal behaviour in immigrant youth in the context of acculturation.Results: Studies on suicidal behaviour in culturally diverse youth are few and most of the existing research does not differentiate ethnic minorities from immigrants. Studies on epidemiology and on specific risk factors were found regarding various immigrant youth including Hispanics in the United States, Asians in North America and Europe, as well as comparative studies between different immigrant groups in specific countries. Conclusions:The relation between immigration status and suicidal behaviours in youth appears to vary by ethnicity and country of settlement. Time spent in the new country as well as intergenerational communication and conflicts with parents have, in many of the studies, been related to suicidality in immigrant youth. Summing up, there is a clear and urgent need to further pursue the work in this field, to develop targeted public health interventions as well as psychosocial treatment for preventing suicide in these youth.Can J Psychiatry. 2010;55(5):274-281. Clinical Implications· Studies indicate that immigrant status influences suicide risk in youth and it should be considered in clinical settings. · They also indicate the need for specifically targeting intergenerational conflicts in the context of suicide prevention efforts for young immigrants. · More studies are needed that break down the concept of acculturation into specific factors influencing young immigrants. Limitations· Our review was limited to literature specifically concerning young immigrants' suicidality in the context of their acculturation process. · Studies fail to differentiate ethnic minorities from immigrants, limiting assessment of specific risk factors associating immigration with suicidality in youth. · Relation between level of acculturation and suicidality in different generations of immigrant youth remains unclear in the studies considered.

“…There has been a particular focus on South Asian women (Bhogal, Baldwin, Hartland, & Nair, 2006;Bhugra, Baldwin, Desai, & Jacobs, 1999), with Husain, Waheed, and Husain (2006) posing the question: ''Why do South Asian women feel the need to harm themselves?''. Cooper et al (2006) concluded that South Asian women aged 16-24 were significantly more likely to self-harm than White women of the same age, but Bhugra, Thompson, Singh, and Fellow-Smith (2003) found there were no differences between White and Asian adolescents in first incidents of self-harm reported to hospital. Most research has been based on people attending Accident and Emergency departments and other hospital services, especially those who have taken an overdose, suggesting a suicide attempt.…”

Religion, ethnicity, coping style, and self-reported self-harm in a diverse non-clinical UK population

Previous studies of ethnic and cultural differences in self-harm have focussed on overdose and suicide attempts by South Asian women. Research comparing ethnic groups has rarely examined religion or nationality. To achieve a more balanced approach this study examined self-harm methods and self-injury across gender, religion and ethnic group in a non-clinical population. Six hundred and seventeen university students completed a questionnaire asking whether they had ever harmed themselves, and the frequency and method of any self-harm. White participants and participants with no religious affiliation were more likely to report repeated incidents of self-harm, mainly scratching and cutting skin. Hindu religion was associated with lower levels of repeated self-harm. Asian males were less likely to report self-harm than both Asian females and other males. Black students were less likely to report cutting and scored highest on Rational coping style. The results raise questions about differential disclosure of self-harm across gender and culture.

Inception Rates of Deliberate Self-Harm among Adolescents in West London

Abstract: The similarities between the Asian and white adolescents suggest that some common aetiological factors may be at play. The risk factors may be related to gender rather than ethnicity in this age group.
