The 10th of October is World Mental Health Day, and here in Australia\u00a0a variety of activities helped ensure that mental health was openly discussed during Mental Health Week (5-12 October). As a researcher who works with adolescents, I am interested in their mental health, particularly as it can have pervasive implications for their injury prevention. I thought I would share an interesting article regarding non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI), an intentional injury which unfortunately has been found to be associated with a breadth of other injuries including suicide.<\/p>\n

As part of a larger study exploring how adolescents cope with emotional problems, Voon, Hasking, and Martin <\/a>(2014) explored the role of a number of variables in NSSI amongst a sample of 41 Australian high schools (Time 1 n = 2637 students; Time 2:\u00a012 months post-baseline, n = 2328; Time 3: 24 months post-baseline\u00a0n = 1984).\u00a0Lifetime prevalence of NSSI increased over time (8.1% – 10.1%),\u00a0with adolescents engaging in NSSI typically starting the behaviour aged 12-14 years.\u00a0Experiencing more adverse life events and high psychological distress increased the risk of the first episode of NSSI, consistent with other research findings that adolescents respond to\u00a0acute life stress\u00a0and emotional distress through NSSI. This\u00a0suggests that adolescents in these tumultuous states could benefit from NSSI-targeted interventions which could prevent NSSI\u00a0include cognitive reappraisal in particular.<\/p>\n

The ripple effect of such support for\u00a0adolescents in particular could indeed offer another effective avenue of intervention for a breadth of injuries during the developmental period of adolescence and young adulthood.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
