Deliberate Self-Harm Among Youth in the Child Welfare System
Significant risk factors associated with DSH after the first CPS investigation were prior DSH, mental health disorders, female sex, and older youth. Risk of DSH was highest for adolescents in the first 2 weeks of a CPS investigation. Identification of risk factors and high-risk period can inform early intervention to decrease DSH.
