目的：作者在这项研究中的目的是建立估计的患病率和相关的非自杀性自伤的大学生。参会人员：作者从一所大型中西部公立大学的5.021名本科生和研究生中随机招募了参与者（N = 2.843）。研究方法：使用基于互联网的调查，作者测量了自伤的患病率和潜在的风险因素，包括抑郁，焦虑，饮食失调，自杀念头和负面健康行为。结果：7%的学生报告在过去4周内有任何自伤。与自伤可能性显著较高（p <0.05）相关的因素包括吸烟、并发抑郁症和焦虑症。而对于男性来说，在社会经济地位低下的家庭中长大，并有饮食失调的症状。只有26%的自伤者在前一年接受了心理健康治疗或药物治疗。结论：伤害自己的学生经历高度焦虑和痛苦，但不太可能寻求帮助。
Objective: The author's purpose in this research was to establish estimates of the prevalence and correlates of nonsuicidal self-injury among university students. Participants: The authors recruited participants (N = 2.843) from a random sample of 5.021 undergraduate and graduate students attending a large midwestern public university. Methods: Using an Internet-based survey, the authors measured the prevalence of self-injury and potential risk factors, including depression, anxiety, eating disorders, suicidal thoughts, and negative health behaviors. Results: Seven percent of students reported any self-injury over the previous 4 weeks. Factors associated with a significantly higher likelihood (p < .05) of self-injury included cigarette smoking, concurrent depressive and anxiety disorders. and for men, growing up in a family of low socioeconomic status and having symptoms of eating disorders. Only 26% of those who reported self-injury received mental health therapy or medication in the previous year. Conclusions: Students who harm themselves experience high anxiety and distress, yet are unlikely to seek help.
