The Self-Harm Inventory efficiently screens for lifetime self-harm behaviors, detects borderline personality symptoms, and predicts past mental healthcare use. This tool aims to improve intervention speed for self-harm behavior.

Area of Science:

  • Psychiatry
  • Psychology
  • Clinical Assessment

Background:

  • Self-harm behavior is common, especially in adolescents and clinical populations.
  • Existing assessment tools for self-harm vary significantly in usability and scope.
  • There is a need for efficient and accessible methods to assess self-harm behavior.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce and validate the Self-Harm Inventory (SHI) as an efficient measure for assessing self-harm behavior.
  • To evaluate the SHI's ability to screen for prevalence, detect specific symptomatology, and predict healthcare utilization.

Main Methods:

  • Development of the Self-Harm Inventory (SHI), a one-page, free-of-charge assessment tool.
  • Evaluation of the SHI's performance in screening for 22 self-harm behaviors.

    • The Self-Harm Inventory (SHI) screens for the lifetime prevalence of 22 distinct self-harm behaviors.
    • The SHI effectively detects borderline personality symptomatology.
    • The SHI predicts past mental healthcare utilization, indicating its clinical relevance.

    Conclusions:

    • The Self-Harm Inventory provides a brief, free, and effective method for assessing self-harm behavior.
    • Efficient assessment of self-harm behavior using tools like the SHI can facilitate timely intervention.
    • The SHI has potential utility in clinical and research settings for understanding and addressing self-harm.
