| Abstract (English): |
Objective. To estimate the prevalence of non-suicidal self-injury in Mexican adolescents and young adults and to characterize the behavior considering sociodemographic variables. Materials and methods. Secondary analysis of Encodat 2025 with a sample of 7 428 Mexican adolescents and young adults aged 12 to 29 years. Results. The national prevalence of NSSI at some point was 7.1%, starting at 13 years on average. The main method of self-injury was cutting, and the most frequent site was the upper extremities. 19.1% required medical treatment due to injuries. Women, adolescents, residents of Mexico City, and those who study and/or work or are not in employment, education, or training had a higher probability of NSSI. Conclusion. Preventive actions with adolescents, reinforcing their emotional regulation tools, as well as within their social context, are a priority. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |

El principal método de autolesión fueron los cortes, y la zona más frecuente, las extremidades superiores. El 19.1% requirió tratamiento médico debido a las lesiones. Las mujeres, población adolescente, personas que viven en la Ciudad de México y quienes estudian y trabajan o no tienen actividad, tuvieron mayor probabilidad de ANS. Conclusión.
