Social and life skills in adolescents who have self-harmed: analysis of survey responses from a national sample of adolescents in Norway.

Objective: Social and life skills (SLS) may be important in the prevention and treatment of self-harm, but few studies have described this relationship. We examined three components of SLS in adolescents who reported self-harm that was, according to themselves, diagnosed by a clinician.

Design: Cross-sectional.
