Key Points

To develop a self-report measure for intentional self-harm as a screening tool for borderline personality disorder.
Narrowed behaviors related to self-harm in adults (N=221) from mental health and non-mental health settings.
Participants completed a semistructured diagnostic interview for borderline personality disorder.
Evaluated the Self-Harm Inventory with additional samples of women (N=285) and adults (N=32) in psychiatric settings.
The SHI accurately classified 83.7% of participants as having BPD or not with a cutoff score of 5 in Study 1.
In Study 2, the SHI achieved 87.9% classification accuracy in women from an outpatient medical setting.
In Study 3, the SHI showed comparable performance to another self-report measure in a sample of involuntarily hospitalized adults.
