Abbreviations: BA, brief admission; LGCM, latent growth curve modeling; NA, not applicable; NSSI, nonsuicidal self-injury; T1, baseline; T2, 6-month follow-up; T3, 12-month follow-up.
Friedman test was used to evaluate the within-group differences.
Measured using the 6-month time period.
Total days admitted to hospital includes days with general admission, compulsory admission, and BA.
Signficant difference found between mean and median from T1 to T2.
Signficant difference found between mean and median from T1 to T3.
Signficant difference found between mean and median from T2 to T3.
Measured for 2 weeks.
Only 20 participants in the BA group and 29 participants in the control groups supplied information on suicide attempts at T1, T2, and T3. The sample was therefore considered too small to perform LGCM.
