2022
Non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) in young adults is recognized as a major public health concern.

Specifically, some theorists have investigated the role of perceived social support (PSS), con- sidered an important factor closely associated with both CCM and NSSI.

Participants were 474 students (73.4% female; Mage…

The baseline and follow-up data were collected by professionally administered semi-structured poly-diagnostic interviews at ages 14 and 22, respectively.
