The main aim of this report is to present prevalence rates of self-harm among children and adolescents aged 5-15 in England, Scotland and Wales during the first half of 1999. The way the questions were phrased means that it is difficult to distinguish between self-harm with the intention of committing suicide and self-harm without that intention, i.e. self-mutilation. Therefore, most of the analysis in this report is presented by source and covers any attempt by children to harm, hurt or kill themselves. Information was collected on 83% of the 12,529 children eligible for interview from up to three sources resulting in at least some data for 10,438 children and adolescents aged 5-15 in Great Britain. According to parents, approximately 1.3% of 5-10 year olds had ever tried to harm, hurt or kill themselves. The lowest rate, 0.4% was found among 5-7 year old girls rising to 2.1% of 8-10 year old boys.The rate of self harm among the sample of young children with no mental disorder was 0.8%. The rate increased dramatically to 6.2% of children diagnosed as having an anxiety disorder and 7.5% of those who had a conduct disorder, hyperkinetic disorder or a less common mental disorder.
