Does Nonsuicidal Self-Injury Predict Later Suicidal Attempts? A Review of Studies. Archives of Suicide Research (IF 2.274) Pub Date : 2020-09-28 Stephanie K Griep,Dean F MacKinnon
Abstract Co-occurrence of nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI) and suicide attempts (SA) might occur because they share common risk factors, or alternatively because one leads to the other. Using search terms salient to NSSI and SA, we screened 555 studies to identify 17 that presented temporal data about NSSI and SA. Much of the evidence indicates that NSSI predates SA, especially among females and individuals
