Key Points

  • Seventeen point seven percent of adolescents reported self-harming behavior at follow-up, indicating serious mental health concerns.
  • Key risk factors like gender diversity and peer problems were linked to suicidal ideation and attempts, highlighting the need for targeted support.
  • Generalised linear mixed models assessed the impact of various factors on self-harm and suicidality in a large sample of adolescents from Australia.
  • Improving peer relationships, addressing bullying, and enhancing social support for families may significantly aid in reducing suicidal distress.
