“…They were assessed at age 3, and thereafter biennially until 15, and at ages 18, 21, 26, 32, and 38 years (Poulton et al, 2015). At age 26 (1998–1999), 472 women and 494 men, consented to an interview on self-harm behaviors (Nada-Raja et al, 2004). The sample represents all socioeconomic levels (Poulton et al, 2015).…”

“…At age 26, participants completed a 20 minute semi-structured in-person interview on self-harm thoughts and behaviors (Nada-Raja et al, 2004). Self-harm questions were asked about behaviors with the intent of hurting onself in the context of dealing with mental or psychological pain, emotions, or stress.…”

“…Questions on suicide ideation and suicide attempts were included in the same interview. Lifetime history of suicide attempt was assessed with the question of, “Have you ever attempted suicide in your life?” 12-month history of suicide ideation was assessed with the question of, “In the past year have you thought about committing suicide?” This interview has been used in several previous studies on self-harm and suicidal behaviors in the Dunedin Study (Goldman-Mellor et al, 2014; Nada-Raja et al, 2004; Skegg et al, 2003). From the original list of self-harm behaviors the following methods were included as a form of NSSI: cutting self, burning self, stabbing self, banging own head/fist against something, hitting or bruising any part of self, picking own skin, piercing own skin, and biting self.…”

Background Non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) and suicide attempts are related, but distinct behaviors. The primary aim of the current study was to identify factors that distinguish those with different lifetime histories of self-injury. A secondary aim was to test whether lifetime history of self-injury at age 26 predicted current suicide ideation at age 32. Methods Participants were 26 year olds from a large birth cohort with a lifetime history of no self-injury (n = 466), a lifetime history of NSSI (n = 191), or a lifetime history of NSSI and a suicide attempt (NSSI+SA; n = 52). They were compared on a history of psychiatric disorders, 12-month suicide ideation, lifetime history of childhood sexual abuse, and lifetime exposure to suicide. Results An anxiety disorder, a substance dependence disorder, suicide ideation, and a history of childhood sexual abuse distinguished the NSSI+SA and NSSI only groups. Longitudinal results demonstrated that a history of NSSI predicted future suicide ideation after adjusting for other selected risk factors. Limitations The majority of analyses are cross-sectional which limits inferences about causality. The retrospective self-report for lifetime behavior could be subject to reporting biases. Conclusions Adults with a history of NSSI and adults with a history of NSSI and a suicide attempt are clinically distinct groups that are both at risk of future suicide ideation. Identifying and treating NSSI could be a key preventive factor in reducing subsequent suicide risk.

“…More focused epidemiological studies suggest a 12-month prevalence estimate of 7.3 % among US adolescents (Taliaferro et al, 2013). The prevalence estimates of NSSI in young adults (aged 18-25 years) have centered around 17 %, with individual studies reporting rates ranging between 5 and 35 % (Gratz, 2001;Nada-Raja, Skegg, Langley, Morrison & Sowerby, 2004;Whitlock et al, 2011). In the US current rates of NSSI among adults (typically including ages 25 and older) are estimated to be around 5 % (Klonsky, 2011).…”

Both non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) and eating disorders (ED) are considered to be harmful behaviors falling within a behavioral spectrum ranging from self-care to self-harm. The high degree of co-occurrence of these behaviors, along with their shared body focus has motivated researchers to investigate and theorize about the potential shared factors driving their comorbidity. In this chapter, we present a conceptual model based upon the current empirical literature depicting distal and proximal psychosocial risk factors shared by NSSI and ED. This model provides a framework for understanding the co-occurrence of NSSI and ED, with the different components being further elaborated on and discussed with regards to treatment recommendations across the different chapters included in this volume. The chapter concludes with a short introduction and summary of each of the chapters within this book.

“…Some studies in the literature reported a correlation between NSSI and socioeconomic level, being abused, problems about friendship relations, psychological disorders like depression, anxiety, behavior disorders and suicide ideation along with several risky disorders like smoking, alcohol consumption, school skipping 4,[12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20] .…”

This study investigated, characteristics of the non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) behaviors and behaviors' relationship with the sociodemographic characteristics, psychological problems and other features like daily life activities, between the ages of 12 and 17 years in the central district İzmit of Kocaeli; 555 students whose data included to study received a sociodemographic questionnaire (SQ) and Youth Self-Report (YSR). Students, who reported that they had NSSI, were additionally evaluated with the Inventory of Statements About Selfinjury (ISAS). We found out a significant correlation between NSSI and the psychological problems, habits with addiction-forming potential, some daily life activities and making friends with negative characteristics. We concluded that prevention of the risk factors related to NSSI might be effective to avoid the development of this behavior. And diagnosing the behavior in the onset, might provide more effective and long-lasting results and enable the adolescent to get over this risky period with minimal harm.
