A recent report from the School of Population Health in Dublin, Ireland, examines the risk and protective factors for self-harm in young people. The study conducted an umbrella review of systematic reviews and meta-analyses, identifying various risk factors such as childhood abuse, depression/anxiety, bullying, trauma, psychiatric illnesses, substance use/abuse, parental divorce, poor family relationships, lack of friends, and exposure to self-harm behavior in others. The research also found that non-suicidal and suicidal self-harm share many of the same risk factors. The study emphasizes the importance of understanding these risk factors to inform prevention measures and calls for further research on protective factors for self-harm. [Extracted from the article] |
