Self-Harm Data Dashboard Now Available
Our self-harm data dashboard is now available. This new tool is intended for partners to use in their injury and violence prevention efforts.
The self-harm data dashboard provides information for health and human services professionals on self-harm throughout the state. Self-harm refers to intentional actions taken to hurt oneself. This can be a difficult topic for some, but the data outlined in the dashboard is an important tool in addressing this issue.
Data from 2018–2021 is displayed. The tool will be updated as new data becomes available.
Thank you to the many partners in this field who were instrumental in the development of this tool and the data it displays.
Data included in the dashboard
The dashboard focuses on non-fatal instances that result in an emergency department (ED) visit or hospitalization and includes an acknowledgment and discussion of disparities and inequities in self-harm injury outcomes. Data from the dashboard can also be used to detect populations at greater risk, medical conditions more often associated with self-harm, and methods more often used to self-harm.
If you or someone you know is experiencing self-harm, the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline provides 24/7 support from trained counselors. Call or text 988 or use the chat feature at 988lifeline.org.
