AB  - The purpose of this study was to co-calibrate items from different deliberate 
      self-harm (DSH) behavioural scales on the same measurement metric and compare cut 
      points and item hierarchy across those scales. Participants included 568 young 
      Australians aged 18-30 years (62% university students, 21% mental health 
      patients, and 17% community volunteers). Six DSH scales (containing 82 items) 
      were administered, namely, Self-Injury Questionnaire Treatment Related (SIQTR), 
      Self-Injurious Thoughts and Behaviours Interview (SITBI), Deliberate Self-Harm 
      Inventory (DSHI), Inventory of Statements About Self-Injury (ISAS), Self-Harm 
      Information Form (SHIF) and Self-Harm Inventory (SHI). Data were co-calibrated 
      onto an underlying metric using the Rasch measurement model. The resulting 
      calibration shows that the different scales occupy different ranges on the 
      hierarchy of DSH methods with prevalence estimates ranging from 47.7 to 77.1%. A 
      raw score conversion table is provided to adjust prevalence rates and to equate 
      cut points on the six scales. A Rasch-validated hierarchy of DSH behaviours is 
      also provided to inform the development of DSH nomenclatures and assist clinical 
      practice.
