Dedrick  \nABSTRACT  \nBackground: Whereas much attention has been focused on adolescent risk behaviors such as substance use, much less has been devoted to self-injury in the general adolescent population. Purpose: This study had two purposes: (1) describe the prevalence of self-injury among early adolescents in the general middle school population, and (2) identify behaviors that are comorbid with self-injury. Methods: This study involved a secondary analysis of data gathered from 1,734 6th and 8th grade students using the middle school Youth Risk Behavior Survey. Results: The prevalence of self-injury among middle school youth in this study (N=1734) was 28.4%. Although the relationship between having ever tried self-injury and gender was significant, the effect size was small. Multilevel logistic regression identified six variables that were significantly related to (P \u003C 0.01) having ever tried self-injury: peer self-injury, having ever tried inhalants, grade level, and belief in possibilities, abnormal eating behaviors and suicide. Discussion: This is the first study to empirically examine self-injury in relation to multiple risk behaviors within a community sample of early adolescents with the goal of informing school-based prevention efforts. Translation to Health Education Practice: School personnel can be observant for evidence of self-injury as well as other risk behaviors and be vigilant about experiences that may be contributing to their development.  \nAlfonso M, Dedrick RF.

This paper was submitted to the Journal on March 1, 2009, revised and accepted for publication on May 11, 2009.  \nBaCKground  \nIdentified as the “fastest-growing adolescent behavioral problem,” self-injury has risen among adolescents.1 It is unknown whether increases in self-injury represent true increases or increased reporting due to media attention. 1,2 Whereas much attention has been focused on other adolescent risk behaviors such as substance use, much less has been devoted to self-injury in the general adolescent population.1 Few studies have focused on self-injury within general populations.1,3 To develop effective preventive interventions, the scope of self-injury among adolescents in community settingsand factors related to the behavior, especially those amenable to change and useful in identifying vulnerable youth, need tobe determined.  \nThis study focuses on superficial/moderate self-injury, which Muehlenkamp defined as “low-lethality actions that alter or damage body tissue (e.g., cutting, burning) without suicidal intent”4(p.325) . Most definitions emphasize that self-injury is deliberate, distinct from suicide and is not culturally sanctioned. Self-injury can be classified into two broad categories—direct or indirect.5-7 Direct self-injury, which includes cutting, biting, severing, burning and hitting, is of primary interest in this study. Examples of indirect self-injury include overeating and substance abuse.7  \nExisting evidence suggests self-injury has increased dramatically due, in part, to the dynamic of social contagion.8-10 Although the secret or private nature of self-injury has been emphasized, evidence of social conta-  \ngion indicates self-injury during adolescence may not be as private as the literature would suggest.11 Further, the infiltration of selfinjury into popular culture over the past two decades suggests the social unacceptability of self-injury may be giving way to some level of tolerance.11  \nMost acts of self-injury are precipitated by a sense of loss, interpersonal conflict or  \nMoya Alfonso is a visiting research assistant professor with the Department of Aging and Mental Health Disparities, University of South Florida, Tampa, FL 33620; E-mail: moyaa@ [hotmail.com.
