– An 18‐month follow‐up of cases of deliberate self‐harm (DSH) revealed that 30% had repeated the act. Of a large number of items recorded at index DSH only one, a past history of self‐harm, was associated with repetition. It is suggested that some factors not predictive of longer term repeat DSH may be important in the assessment of risk for immediate further self‐harm.
