Estimated 12-month prevalence among children and adolescents is 19.5% for NSSI, 14.2% for suicidal ideation, and 4.5% for suicide attempts. The article states that current evidence is limited on whether D-SSIs reduce SITB severity or produce remission. SITBs are described as life-threatening, disabling, and common among young people. Adolescence is presented as a key period for early intervention because average onset occurs between ages 12 and 15. Each suicide-related behaviour increases later suicide risk.
