Abstract | Objective The study aimed to explore the association between area-based coverage of community services and the incidence of self-harm, which will provide an evaluation framework for the support of self-harm. Methods Enhanced two-Step floating catchment area method was used to estimate the centersto- population ratio and geographical accessibility adjusted by a distance-decay function. Spearman's rank coefficient was used to examine the association between the self-harm rate and adjusted accessibility index. Results There was a significant negative correlation between the accessibility index and selfharm rate in youth (rho = −0.87, P < 0.01) and older adults (rho = −0.87, P < 0.01). The survival curves showed no relationship between self-harm repetition and service accessibility in youth or older adults. Conclusions The uneven spatial accessibility of community social service centers and the independence between spatial accessibility and self-harm highlights the need to explore personal barriers to community service utilization. |
