Self-harm behavior is exhibited by a substantial minority of the general population and may be particularly prevalent among adolescents and clinical samples, both in psychiatric and primary care settings. A number of measures are currently available for the assessment of self-harm behavior. These vary a great deal in terms of their content, response options, targeted clinical audience, time to complete, and availability. The Self-Harm Inventory, a measure that we developed for the assessment of self-harm behavior, is one-page in length, takes five or less minutes to complete, and is free-of-charge. Studies indicate that the Self-Harm Inventory does the following: 1) screens for the lifetime prevalence of 22 self-harm behaviors; 2) detects borderline personality symptomatology; and 3) predicts past mental healthcare utilization. Hopefully, more efficient assessment of self-harm behavior will lead to more rapid intervention and resolution.
相当一部分普通人群存在自我伤害行为，在青少年以及精神科和初级保健机构的临床样本中可能尤为普遍。目前有多种措施可用于评估自我伤害行为。这些措施在内容、回答选项、目标临床人群、完成时间和可获得性方面差异很大。我们开发的用于评估自我伤害行为的《自我伤害量表》篇幅为一页，完成时间不超过五分钟，且免费。研究表明，《自我伤害量表》具有以下作用：1）筛查22种自我伤害行为的终生患病率；2）检测边缘性人格症状；3）预测过去的精神卫生保健利用情况。希望对自我伤害行为进行更有效的评估将带来更快速的干预和解决。
