N2  - OBJECTIVE: To analyze the overlap of non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) and suicide-related behaviors (SRB) among college students with regard to demographics, mental health and coping styles. PARTICIPANTS: Respondents were 572 undergraduate students at a southwestern public university. <br><br>METHODS: Data were collected in 2015. Respondents completed a demographic survey and assessments of NSSI, SRB, internalizing symptoms (i.e., anxiety, stress and depression), aggression, and negative coping strategies. The survey was administered via a web-based procedure. <br><br>RESULTS: Females reported more frequent cutting behaviors than males. Endorsement of NSSI was also associated with an increased likelihood of lifetime SRB. A subgroup of students endorsing both NSSI and SRB demonstrated poorer mental health, more negative coping, and self-reported female sex. <br><br>CONCLUSIONS: College healthcare providers may benefit from competency-based training in techniques for the combination treatment of NSSI and SRB, as well as culturally-based models of suicide.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
