Editorial: Bringing Parenting Into Focus: A Decade of Longitudinal Follow-Up Reveals Potential Parenting Targets for Early Intervention for Adolescent Self-Injury.

ABSTRACT

The mounting prevalence in adolescents of non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI),1 a behavior known to predict future suicide attempts,2 highlights a critical need for research that can help us understand and prevent it. Research studying the childhood roots of this behavior has the potential to provide the groundwork needed to identify possible avenues for intervention.
