TY - JOUR PY - 2014// TI - Commentary: Self-harm: a global health priority - reflections on Brunner et al. (2014) JO - Journal of child psychology and psychiatry A1 - Ougrin, Dennis SP - 349 EP - 351 VL - 55 IS - 4 N2 - The accompanying cross-sectional study by Brunner et al. (2014) investigates the prevalence and correlates of self-injury in adolescents. It is one of the largest epidemiological studies of its kind published to date. Self-injury by cutting is a strong independent predictor of suicide (Hawton et al., 2012), therefore, understanding the prevalence and psychosocial correlates of this behaviour is of great importance.
