Information collected included admission risk assessment ratings, aggressive incident reports, patient diagnoses, sex and history of aggression and self-harming behaviour.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Results: A total of 193 adolescents (aged 13\u201318 years old) were included in retrospective analyses. The hypothesis that unstructured clinical risk assessment would be predictive of self- and other-directed aggression was partially supported. High risk assessment scores were predictive of engagement in other-directed aggression. A history of physical aggression was also found to be predictive of engagement in other-directed aggression; however, it was not as predictive as the risk assessment rating. High risk assessment scores were not predictive of self-directed aggression. A history of engaging in one or more acts of self-harm or suicide was the most predictive of engagement in self-directed aggression during inpatient stay. Female sex also predicted engagement in self-directed aggression.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Conclusions: Based on professional expertise, prior experience and intuition, clinicians are relatively good predictors of other-directed aggression in adolescent inpatient units; however, they are less successful at predicting self-directed aggression in this population. It is possible that, unlike other-directed aggression, self-harming behaviour is heavily dependent on environmental factors and that admission to the inpatient unit removes these triggers from the individual\u2019s environment.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/0004867411430876","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,1,10]],"date-time":"2012-01-10T07:38:48Z","timestamp":1326181128000},"page":"40-46","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["Risk assessment of self- and other-directed aggression in adolescent psychiatric inpatient units"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"46","author":[{"given":"Natalie L","family":"Phillips","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Psychological Science, Faculty of Science Technology and Engineering, La Trobe University, Melbourne, Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Robyn","family":"Stargatt","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Psychological Science, Faculty of Science Technology and Engineering, La Trobe University, Melbourne, Australia"},{"name":"Austin Health Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service, Melbourne, Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Annya","family":"Brown","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Austin Health Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service, Melbourne, Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2012,1,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-0004867411430876","volume-title":"Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders","author":"American Psychiatric Association","year":"1994"},{"key":"bibr2-0004867411430876","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1176\/ajp.150.9.1374"},{"key":"bibr3-0004867411430876","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/070674370705200905"},{"key":"bibr4-0004867411430876","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1037\/0003-066X.51.9.945"},{"key":"bibr5-0004867411430876","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/1097-4679(200010)56:10<1263::AID-JCLP3>3.0.CO;2-D"},{"key":"bibr6-0004867411430876","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00004583-199801000-00019"},{"key":"bibr7-0004867411430876","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/chi.0b013e3180465a1a"},{"key":"bibr8-0004867411430876","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0004867404038001-211"},{"key":"bibr9-0004867411430876","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00004583-199003000-00013"},{"key":"bibr10-0004867411430876","first-page":"887","volume":"79","author":"Glasser M","year":"1998","journal-title":"International Journal of Psychoanalysis"},{"key":"bibr11-0004867411430876","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1176\/ps.2006.57.5.610"},{"key":"bibr12-0004867411430876","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1176\/ajp.148.10.1317"},{"key":"bibr13-0004867411430876","volume-title":"Clinical Prediction of Violent Behaviour","author":"Monahan J","year":"1995"},{"key":"bibr14-0004867411430876","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3109\/00048674.2011.587396"},{"key":"bibr15-0004867411430876","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00004583-199504000-00010"},{"key":"bibr16-0004867411430876","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1176\/appi.ajp.2010.10050718"}],"container-title":["Australian &amp; New Zealand Journal of Psychiatry"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1177\/0004867411430876","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/full-xml\/10.1177\/0004867411430876","content-type":"application\/xml","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1177\/0004867411430876","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,28]],"date-time":"2026-04-28T10:53:56Z","timestamp":1777373636000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/10.1177\/0004867411430876"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2012,1]]},"references-count":16,"journal-issue":{"issue":"1","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2012,1]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1177\/0004867411430876"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/0004867411430876","relation":{},"ISSN":["0004-8674","1440-1614"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0004-8674","type":"print"},{"value":"1440-1614","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2012,1]]}}}
