Non-suicidal Self-Injury
Longitudinal study of non-suicidal self-injury among young adolescents: Rates, correlates,
and preliminary test of an interpersonal model.
EXCERPT FROM THE RESEARCH ARTICLE
Participants included 508 students (51% female) in Grades 6 (35%), 7 (30%), and 8 (35%)
at the outset of the study attending a middle school in a moderately sized, middle-class
community in the northeastern United States.
Engagement in NSSI (non-suicidal self-injury) was determined by an affirmative response
to the item "Have you harmed or hurt your body on purpose (e.g., cutting or burning your
skin, hitting yourself, or pulling out your hair)?" For participants who endorsed engaging in
NSSI, follow-up questions were provided to assess frequency of the behavior within the
past year and to inquire whether the participant had made a suicide attempt in the past year
(90% reported they did not, suggesting that NSSI indeed involves non-suicidal self-injury).
It was anticipated that engagement in NSSI would be associated with engagement in other
health-risk behaviors, including substance use, eating pathology, and sexual risk behaviors.
