Psychiatric disorders in descending order of the number of r/selfharm users (n = 500) disclosing a diagnosis of or concern with that disorder. κ = Fleiss’s kappa statistic, an indicator of intercoder reliability. Interpretation of κ (from Landis & Koch, 1977) is also reported. All values of κ were significantly better than chance agreement at the P < 0.001 level. Items with associated κ’s are from an a priori codebook, while no κ’s are reported for additional disorders or concerns added to the codebook post hoc. These additional items were disclosed by at least 1% of users (n = 5), after resolving disagreements between coders.
