Self-harm prevalence and associated factors among street children in Mashhad, North East of Iran

ConclusionsThe prevalence of self-harming in street children is significantly high. Some of these children are in more high-risk conditions that face them to suffer from self-harming at a younger age. Family factors are more important in predicting self-harming and community health decision-makers should provide educational interventions and psychological support for these children and their families.
