The present study examined the association of suicidal ideation in self‐cutters with clinical features of self‐cutting, using a sample of subjects from juvenile correctional institutions. Multivariate analysis revealed that male self‐cutters and analgesia during self‐cutting were significantly associated with a history of suicidal ideation. These results suggest that male analgesic self‐cutters should be regarded as a high‐risk subgroup for suicide.
