Mediating and moderating variables in the prediction of self-harm in young people: A systematic review of prospective longitudinal studies

摘要

Background: : Self-harm is widespread amongst young people. A growing body of research has explored factors that predict self-harm in young people, however, a systematic review of mediators and moderators of those factors has not yet been offered. This review aims to fill this gap by synthesising research about mediators and moderators of factors that prospectively predict self-harm in young people.
