The Chinese version of the Self-Injurious thoughts and behaviors Interview-Revised (C-SITBI-R): assessing NSSI and suicidal behaviors among adolescents in clinical settings.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Self-injurious thoughts and behaviors (SITBs) increasingly prevalent among youth, with particularly high rates in China. Existing assessment tools often lack comprehensiveness or cultural adaptation. This study aimed to translate and validate the Self-Injurious Thoughts and Behaviors Interview-Revised (SITBI-R) for Chinese adolescents in clinical settings and evaluate its diagnostic accuracy against DSM-5 criteria and suicide risk assessment protocols.

Methods

A total of 170 adolescents aged 12-19 years were recruited from two psychiatric hospitals. The Chinese version of SITBI-R (C-SITBI-R) was compared with established instruments including the M.I.N.I., self-report scales for non-suicidal self-injury assessment, and DSM-5 diagnostic criteria.
