Inconsistent reporting of past self-injurious thoughts and behaviors in children: A longitudinal analysis of data from the adolescent Brain Cognitive Development study.

Abstract: = 1,086). Logistic regressions modeled BL sociodemographic, clinical, and neurocognitive correlates with inconsistent reporting from BL to Y1. Developmental differences in inconsistency were assessed by comparing rates between BL-Y1 and Y1-Y2. At Y1, 67% of SITB reporters from BL did not endorse past SITBs (inconsistency range = 67%-80% across SITBs). Less severe clinical symptoms (e.g., parent-reported youth psychopathology, longitudinal SITB reports), younger age, and lower general neurocognitive performance were significantly associated with higher odds of inconsistent reporting of SITBs. Inconsistency in nonsuicidal self-injury reporting was significantly lower from Y1 to Y2 (73%) compared to BL-Y1 (80%). In late childhood, inconsistency in reported SITBs is the norm and may hinder accurate risk assessment for youth. These patterns may be associated with lower clinical severity and neurocognitive and developmental immaturity. Further examination is needed to better understand features associated with inconsistent reporting (e.g., forgetting, reconceptualizing, or nondisclosure) to inform suicide risk assessments.
