Despite the clinical relevance of selfinjurious thoughts and behaviors SITB among youth little is known about the subset of youth most atrisk for SITB This study examined the moderating roles of gender racial/ethnic background and schoollevel and their interactions on rates of SITB within a large N = 2638 522 female ethnicallydiverse sample of middle and highschool youth in a relatively poor and underserved area of the Southern United States Extending extant research in this area findings indicated a significant interaction between gender and race for selfinjurious behaviors with African–American boys reporting higher rates than all other groups Findings also indicated significant interactions between schoollevel and both gender and race for selfinjurious thoughts Whereas comparable levels of selfinjurious thoughts were reported across middle and highschools for girls and African–American youth the frequency of these thoughts was higher among both boys and White students in highschool vs middleschool Results highlight the need for further research on SITB among diverse youth in underserved areas
