In addition, NSSI is considered a symptom of borderline personality disorder. It has been found that adolescents in secondary vocational schools are more vulnerable to behavior and emotional disorders than those in general high schools. This study investigated the risk factors associated with NSSI affecting secondary vocational school students and analyzed the role of borderline personality disorder tendencies in promoting the occurrence of NSSI among students with depressive moods.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A total of 1,848 Chinese secondary vocational students completed a self-report questionnaire. The homemade NSSI behavior questionnaire, Patient Health Questionnaire-9 and Personality Diagnostic Questionnaire-4 were used in this survey. Binary logistic regression and PROCESS software analysis were used to explore the influencing factors associated with NSSI and to test for moderating effects.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Female (OR\u2009=\u20093.412, 95% CI 2.301\u20135.060), drinking history (OR\u2009=\u20092.007, 95% CI 1.383\u20132.911), history of suicidal death exposure (OR\u2009=\u20093.161, 95% CI 1.999\u20134.999), depressive mood (OR\u2009=\u20092.436, 95% CI 1.668\u20133.558) and borderline personality disorder tendencies (OR\u2009=\u20092.558, 95% CI\u2009=\u20091.764\u20133.711) were independent risk factors for NSSI.
