_______________ Self-Destructive Behaviors:Definitions & Rates _______________ Prof. Matthew K. Nock
Why Study Self-Injurious Behaviors? _______________ “There is but one truly serious philosophical problem, and that is suicide. Judging whether life is or is not worth living amounts to answering the fundamental question of philosophy. All the rest– whether or not the world has three dimensions, whether the mind has nine or twelve categories– comes afterwards. These are games; one must first answer.” --Albert Camus, The Myth of Sisyphus
Why Study Self-Injurious Behaviors? _______________ • ~1 million suicide deaths annually; 1 every 40 seconds • ~30,000 deaths each year in US • Twice as many suicides as HIV/AIDS deaths, >homicides • 11th leading cause of death, 3rd among adolescents • 15% of high school students “seriously consider” suicide, and 7% make a suicide attempt (YRBS, 2007) • 97% of clinical psychology students see ≥ 1 suicidal patient; 25% of psychologists and 50% of psychiatrists lose patient to suicide(Kleespies & Dettmer, 2000)

Current Context _______________ • Suicide & NSSI are very difficult to predict & prevent
Classifying Self-Injurious Thoughts and Behaviors _______________ • Common terms: “suicidality” …“deliberate self-harm”… “parasuicide”… • More specific terms and definitions: • Suicide ideation: thoughts of intentionally ending one’s own life • Suicide plan: selection of method with some intent to act in the future • Suicide attempt: self-injurious behavior with intent to die • Non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI): self-injury with no intent to die Nock & Kessler (2006) J Abnormal Psychology Nock & Kazdin (2002) J Clinical Child & Adolescent Psychology
Epidemiology of Suicidal Outcomes _______________ • What is the prevalence of suicide ideation, plans, and attempts? • What are the onset, course, and risk factors?

Epidemiology of Suicidal Outcomes _______________ • What is the prevalence of suicide ideation, plans, and attempts? • What are the onset, course, and risk factors? • WHO World Mental Health Survey Initiative (Kessler et al): nationally representative survey in 28 countries (N ~ 250,000) • Prevalence • Estimate Range • Suicide Ideation 9.2% (3.1China - 15.9New Zealand) • Suicide Plan 3.1% (0.7Italy - 5.6New Zealand) • Suicide Attempt 2.7% (0.9Italy - 5.0USA) N = 84,850; 17 Countries Nock et al. (2008). British Journal of Psychiatry
Epidemiology of Suicidal Outcomes _______________ • Although variability in prevalence of suicidal outcomes, there is consistency in: • Age-of-onset (AOO) of suicidal outcomes Nock et al. (2008). British Journal of Psychiatry

Epidemiology of Suicidal Outcomes _______________ • Although variability in prevalence of suicidal outcomes, there is consistency in: • Age-of-onset (AOO) of suicidal outcomes • Conditional probabilities of transition from ideation to plans (33.6%) and attempts (29.0%) • Speed of transition from ideation to plans and attempts Nock et al. (2008). British Journal of Psychiatry

Predictors of Transition from Suicide Ideation to Attempt _______________ Prediction of first onset of suicide ideation and attempts in the NCS-R Values are ORs from multivariate survival models predicting ideation in the total sample (column 1), and unplanned attempts among ideators (column 2) in the NCS-R. Models included 16 disorders– only 4 shown here. Nock et al. (2010). Molecular Psychiatry (US) Nock et al. (2009). PLoS Medicine (Cross-nationally)
