Call for Papers: Youth Self-Injury Research Collection

Researchers are invited to submit manuscripts to a new Injury Epidemiology Collection on “Emerging risk factors for self-injury in youth in the current milieu of growing mental health crisis.”

This Collection seeks research that advances understanding of the evolving factors contributing to self-injury among youth and informs prevention, intervention, and policy.
