Nonsuicidal Self-Injury, Suicidal Behavior, and Their Co-occurrence as Viewed Through the Lens of the Interpersonal Theory of Suicide (2012, background): “…to die and for purposes that are not socially sanctioned; Nock, 2009), prevalence estimates suggest that the behavior occurs among about 4% of adults (Klonsky, Oltmanns, & Turkheimer, 2003), 17% of undergraduates (Whitlock, Eckenrode, & Silverman, 2006), and 14% of adolescents (Ross & Heath, 2002).”
Contextual features and behavioral functions of self-mutilation among adolescents. (2005, background): “Second, most previous studies of SMB have not used direct, systematic evaluation of self-mutilators but have taken the form of clinical case reports (e.g., Noshpitz, 1994; Offer & Barglow, 1960), large survey studies (e.g., Favazza & Conterio, 1989; Ross & Heath, 2002 ), or laboratory studies with ”
International prevalence of adolescent non-suicidal self-injury and deliberate self-harm (2012, background): “For example, Ross and Heath [71] reported that of the 21.”
The Demedicalization of Self-Injury (2007, background): “People who flaunt disreputable identities, what Goffman (1963) refers to as “minstrelization,” may engage in these displays as expressions of freedom or defiance (see Sanders 1989 on tattooees and Wolf 1991 on outlaw bikers).”
Characteristics and functions of non-suicidal self-injury in a community sample of adolescents (2007, background): “Ross and Heath (2002) found 14% (n=61) of a sample of US adolescents reported lifetime NSSI in a semi-structured interview, with onethird of these reporting currently self-harming two times a week.”
Identifying clinically distinct subgroups of self-injurers among young adults: a latent class analysis. (2008, background): “Approximately 14% of adolescents (Ross & Heath, 2002) and 17% of young adults (Whitlock et al., 2006) report a history of one or more NSSI behaviors.”
Assessing the functions of non-suicidal self-injury: Psychometric properties of the Inventory of Statements About Self-injury (ISAS) (2008, background): “Because rates of NSSI have increased in recent years (Jacobson and Gould 2007; Ross and Heath, 2002; Whitlock, Eckenrode, and Silverman, 2006), there is new urgency to better understand and treat the behavior.”
Self-Cutting and Suicidal Ideation among Adolescents: Gender Differences in the Causes and Correlates of Self-Injury (2012, neutral): “Females have consistently been found to have higher prevalence rates in self-harming behaviors when compared to males (Laye-Gindhu and Schonert-Reichl 2005; Patton et al. 1997; Rodham et al. 2004; Ross and Heath 2002).”
The Epidemiology and Phenomenology of Non-Suicidal Self-Injurious Behavior Among Adolescents: A Critical Review of the Literature (2007, neutral): “2% (Laye-Gindhu & Schonert-Reichl, 2005 ; Muehlenkamp & Gutierrez, 2004 ; Muehlenkamp & Gutierrez, 2007 ; Ross & Health, 2002 ; Zoroglu, Shea, Pearlstein et al, 2003 ), with a 12-month prevalence ranging from 2.”
Non-suicidal self-injury in United States adults: prevalence, sociodemographics, topography and functions (2011, background): “However, studies have documented NSSI in numerous non-BPD samples (Ross & Heath, 2002 ; Klonsky et al. 2003 ; Laye-Gindhu & Schonert-Reichl, 2005 ; Whitlock et al. 2006) and there is considerable diagnostic heterogeneity among those who self-injure (Klonsky & Olino, 2008 ; Whitlock et al. 2008).”
