A review of studies from 12 countries shows that cases of self-harm in children and young people are increasing, especially among girls
A team from Canada conducted a review and meta-analysis of 42 studies on self-harm in children and young people from 12 high-income countries between 2000 and 2024. According to the available data, corresponding to more than 200 million people under 25 years of age, there was an annual increase of 2.5% in self-reported self-harm and 3.5% in medical visits for self-harm, particularly among girls. The results are published in JAMA Pediatrics.
