Youths with NSSI and/or SA had higher risks for subsequent adverse clinical outcomes. These excess risks were more pronounced among youths with SA and youths with both NSSI and SA, and the risk for psychiatric inpatient care was particularly high in youths with both NSSI and SA. Our findings suggest that early interventions for youths with NSSI or SA should not exclusively focus on suicide prevention, but also consider the risk of subsequent alcohol/substance use disorder.
