“…It is noteworthy, however, that our sample size was comparable to another recently published meta-analysis on NSSI (Batejan, Jarvi, & Swenson, 2014). Nevertheless, it is important to acknowledge that our quantitative results are based on a small set of studies (particularly our analyses assessing whether the different facets of impulsivity were differentially related to NSSI), and it is possible that unpublished null findings on the link between impulsivity and NSSI could reduce the strength of association identified in the metaanalyses.…”

“…The present effect size was comparable to findings from other meta-analyses on NSSI (to our knowledge, the only two meta-analyses on NSSI). Klonsky and Moyer (2008) found a small effect size (d = .47) between childhood sexual abuse and impulsivity, and Batejan et al (2014) found a moderate effect size between sexual orientation and impulsivity (d = .61; effects were converted to Cohen's d, see Borenstein, Hedges, Higgins, & Rothstein, 2009). …”

Background: There are few population-based cohort studies of the emergence, development, and persistence of mental health problems in sexual minorities compared to heterosexuals.We compared trajectories of depressive symptoms from 10 to 21 years of age in sexual minority and heterosexual adolescents, and examined self-harm at ages 16 and 21. Methods:The study included 4828 adolescents from the ALSPAC birth cohort (Bristol, UK) who reported their sexual orientation at age 16. Depressive symptoms were assessed with the short Mood and Feelings Questionnaire (sMFQ) at seven time-points between ages 10 and 21. A self-harm questionnaire was completed at ages 16 and 21. Analyses were linear multilevel models with growth curves (depressive symptoms), logistic multilevel models (self-harm in the past year at ages 16 and 21) and multinomial regression (lifetime self-harm with and without suicidal intent at age 21). Findings:In sexual minorities, depressive symptoms were higher at age 10 and increased to a larger extent compared to heterosexuals. In heterosexuals, depressive symptoms increased by 0.31 sMFQ points at each time-point (95% CI 0.27 to 0.34) and in sexual minorities by 0.49 sMFQ points (95% CI 0.40 to 0.59). Sexual minority adolescents were more likely to report self-harm in the past year at ages 16 and 21 (adjusted odds ratio 4.23, 95% CI 2.90 to 6.16), with no evidence that this estimate reduced with age (p=0.798). At 21, sexual minorities were 4.53 (95% CI 3.02 to 6.78) times more likely to report previous self-harm with suicidal intent.

“…In a Swedish study of adolescents aged 15-17 years, 11.1% of the girls and 2.3% of the boys fulfilled the criteria for NSSI disorder (NSSID) according to DSM-5 (Zetterqvist, Lundh, Dahlstrom, & Svedin, 2013). Adolescents with a non-heterosexual orientation have been found to be at particularly higher risk of NSSI (Batejan, Jarvi, & Swenson, 2015).…”

Further, to use sex in means of self-injury (SASI) is a behaviour that has been highlighted in Sweden the last years but it is a new field of research and a behaviour in need of conceptualizationThe aim of this thesis was to investigate the prevalence of, associated risk factors with, motives for and manifestations of adolescents selling sex and the use of sex as self-injury (SASI). For the thesis, two nationally representative cross-sectional population surveys with third year students at Swedish high schools were collected in 2009 (n = 3498, mean age 18.3 +/-0.6 years, response rate 60.4%) and in 2014 (n = 5839, mean age 18.0 +/-0.6 years, response rate 59.7%). Further, the motives and manifestations of SASI were investigated in an anonymous self-selected, open-ended questionnaire published on websites of nongovernmental organizations offering help and support to women and adolescents (n = 199, mean age 27.9 +/-9.3 years). Quantitative and qualitative methods were used for data analyses.In the 2009 population-based survey, 1.5% (n = 51) of the adolescents reported having sold sex on at least one occasion, but in 2014 the prevalence was slightly lower at 0.9% (n = 51). SASI was reported by 3.2% of girls (n = 100) and 0.8% of boys (n = 20). Both selling sex and SASI were associated with various adverse factors such as experience of sexual abuse, emotional and physical abuse, poor mental health and self-injury. Adolescents selling sex had sought help and support for different problems and worries to a greater extent compared to peers. Contact with healthcare for various psychiatric problems such as suicide attempts, depression and eating disorders was common for adolescents using SASI. Further analysis showed that adolescents selling sex are a heterogeneous group in regard to underlying motives for selling sex, which included emotional and material reasons as well as pleasure.Depending on their underlying motives, adolescents selling sex were found to differ in regard Abstract 2 to compensation received, age of the buyer, means of contact with the buyer, sexual orientation, experience of sexual abuse and the use of SAS...
