Strengthen high quality population based studies to create a new research agenda for adolescents self injury behavior / 中国学校卫生

ABSTRACT

Abstract@#Self injury behavior accounts for a high proportion of disease burden among adolescents worldwide, which is also important antecedent for multiple health outcomes in adulthood. Early identification of risk factors and intervention for self injury are of substantial importance for adolescents. Limitations in study design and data analysis of previous studies on adolescent self injury hinder the progress in self injury prediction and intervention. To address these limitations and improve adolescent self injury prediction models and interventions, more evidence based on highquality population studies with advanced statistical methods are needed.
