A study found 30% of individuals repeated deliberate self-harm (DSH) within 18 months. Past self-harm history was the only predictor of repeat DSH, suggesting other factors may indicate immediate risk.

Area of Science:

  • Psychiatry
  • Public Health
  • Epidemiology

Background:

  • Deliberate self-harm (DSH) is a significant public health concern.
  • Understanding predictors of DSH repetition is crucial for intervention.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify factors associated with repeat deliberate self-harm (DSH) over an 18-month period.
  • To explore predictors of immediate versus longer-term DSH repetition.

Main Methods:

  • An 18-month follow-up study of individuals who presented after an index episode of DSH.
  • Analysis of numerous recorded items at the time of the index DSH to identify predictive factors.

Main Results:

  • 30% of individuals repeated DSH within the 18-month follow-up period.

  • A history of prior self-harm was the sole significant predictor of DSH repetition.
  • Factors not predictive of longer-term repetition may be critical for assessing immediate risk.

    • Conclusions:

    • Past self-harm history is a key indicator for predicting future DSH repetition.
    • The assessment of immediate risk for further self-harm may require consideration of factors beyond those predicting long-term repetition.
