Non-Suicidal Self-Injury in Latin America
Bibliographic record
Abstract
"Non-Suicidal Self-Injury (NSSI) is defined as the intentional direct inju- Antecedentes ry of the own bodily tissue without suicidal intent. In areas with a Cau- La autolesión sin intención de suicidarse (NSSI) se define como un casian majority population, such as the USA, Canada and Europe, it daño directo e intencional a los propios tejidos del cuerpo sin la is a rapidly increasing phenomenon, especially among young people. found on NSSI in Latin America. NSSI en América Latina. Method A study of English, Spanish and Portuguese literature on NSSI in Latin America was conducted using electronic search engines. During a ten-month period of field work in Belo Horizonte, Brasil, a systematic search was conducted of the international press, the popular local press, television broadcasts, Internet sites and blogs. Semi-structured elite interviews were conducted of academic professionals and prac- titioners. Spontaneous conversations on NSSI took place with local inhabitants. Results Three reasons for the authors’ prior lack of success in finding publica- tions on NSSI in Latin America could be distinguished: the gap between academic professionals, practitioners and inhabitant population, the language of the publications, and the existing confusion in terminology and research traditions regarding NSSI. Conclusion NSSI has a high prevalence in Latin America, which can be compared to that of the northern hemisphere. Although there are some differenc- es in the ways of engaging in NSSI and in its functions, there are also important similarities. Scientific information on NSSI in Latin America remains difficult to find for researchers in other parts of the world. Therefore we advocate a consensus in terminology and suggest that all publications would provide English key words and would be in- cluded in international scientific databases to ensure a world-wide dis- semination. An alternative is the construction of one centralized global Latin American database for Spanish and Portuguese publications. Key words: Deliberate self-harm, non-suicidal self-injury, scientific databases, terminology."

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
