TY - JOUR PY - 2009// TI - Self-harm in children and adolescents JO - Ugeskrift for Laeger A1 - Søgaard, LE A1 - Christensen, Cathrine Lundgaard A1 - Bilenberg, Niels SP - 2265 EP - 2268 VL - 171 IS - 33 N2 - The present paper is a review of recent research on the prevalence of deliberate self-harm (DSH) in a non-clinical background population of adolescents during the period 2002-2008. Cutting and overdosing are the most common methods used, and the majority of adolescents engaging in DSH are girls. A problem in DSH is the fact that there is no well-established definition, which is necessary to ensure comparable prevalence estimates across cultures and to evaluate any changes over time.
