        Fact Sheet

        Nonfatal Self-Inflicted Injuries

        May 24, 2002

        In 2000, more than 264,000 persons were treated for nonfatal self-inflicted injuries in hospital Emergency Departments (EDs) according to a CDC MMWR released today. Most of the injuries were either poisonings or lacerations; 60% were probable suicide attempts. This study provides national estimates and the characteristics of these self-inflicted injuries, which can be used to help monitor trends and evaluate prevention programs and policies. 

        Key findings include:

        • Overall, self-inflicted injury rates were highest among adolescents and young adults, particularly females.

        • Most of the injuries resulted from poisoning (65%) or cutting/piercing with a sharp instrument (25%). Far fewer involved a firearm (1%).

        • Approximately half (49%) of persons seen for self-inflicted injuries were treated and released from the Emergency Departments, while 32% required hospitalization.
