Gender differences in the links between illicit substance use and self-harm

 

 

Nicole is on a roll! Congratulations go out again to APEAL PhD candidate Nicole Hammond, whose first-author paper “The gendered relationship between illicit substance use and self-harm in university students” was recently published in Social Psychiatry and Psychiatric Epidemiology. In this study of over 50,000 university students, frequent alcohol use was associated with self-harm and suicidality among young men and women. Illicit substance use, however, was more strongly associated with self-harm and suicidality among young women than among young men.

 

Congratulations, Nicole!
