Non-Suicidal Self-Injury in U.S. Military Veterans: Results from the National Health and Resilience in Veterans Study

CONCLUSION: Results of this study provide the first-known data on the epidemiology of NSSI in U.S. military veterans. They suggest that certain correlates can help identify veterans who may be at greater risk for engaging in NSSI, as well as the potential prognostic utility of lifetime NSSI in predicting current psychiatric problems and suicide risk in this population.PMID:34599541 | DOI:10.1002/cpp.2673
