This study examined 1,361 Chinese adolescents who reported self‐injurious behaviors. Groups A and B both acknowledged deliberate self‐injury, but only Group A had made a suicide attempt. Group C reported accidental self‐injury. Deliberate self‐injurers (Groups A and B) were more frequently girls, older, and with more suicidal ideation. Group A had more psychopathology, environmental and suicide‐related risk factors than group B and C. Group C had higher depressive symptoms than noninjured controls. The study clarifies differences among self‐injurious behavior groups based on expressed deliberate self‐injury and self‐reported suicide attempt. These three groups appear to present a continuum of risk.
