Background:

Non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) is a prevalent behavior among adolescents, often indicating underlying distress.
Shame associated with NSSI can prevent young people from disclosing their experiences to professionals.
Healthcare providers may lack effective methods for inquiring about NSSI, leading to underidentification.

Purpose of the Study:

To introduce a concise and user-friendly screening tool for identifying NSSI in adolescents.
To provide professionals with a method for systematically detecting NSSI.
To facilitate a respectful and validating approach to understanding the causes of NSSI.

Main Methods:

The review introduces "The 3 F's" screening tool.
This tool assesses the form, frequency, and function of NSSI.
It is designed for easy implementation by professionals.

Main Results:

"The 3 F's" tool enables the uncovering of NSSI's form, frequency, and function.
The tool supports systematic detection of NSSI.
It promotes a validating approach to understanding adolescent self-injury.

Conclusions:

"The 3 F's" offers a practical method for identifying NSSI in adolescents.
This screening tool can help professionals understand the underlying reasons for self-injuring behavior.
Implementing "The 3 F's" can improve the care and support for adolescents engaging in NSSI.
