The key findings of the 2013 survey on 16-year-olds' mental health include:

28% of 16-year-olds said that they had experienced serious personal, emotional or mental health problems at some point in the past year.

Just over one third of these respondents had sought professional help for these problems.

13% of respondents said that they had, at some point in the past, seriously thought about taking an overdose or harming themselves, and 6% had thought about this in the past month.

13% of respondents said they had self-harmed - 5% had done so once and 8% more than once. The most likely reason (60%) given by these young people for doing this was that they 'wanted to punish themselves'.

The survey was undertaken by ARK on behalf of the universities.

The research aims to give an insight into the lives of 16-year-olds across Northern Ireland, by addressing a range of key issues.

据英国广播公司（BBC）5月16日报道，在一项名为“青少年生活与境况”（YLT）的调查中，几乎三分之一的调查对象曾经历严重的个人、情感或心理问题。

参与此次新调查的北爱尔兰地区的十六岁青少年中，有十分之一称曾有过自残或服食过量药物的念头。

每年一次的“青少年生活与境况”调查活动由女王大学和阿尔斯特大学联合开展。

调查还显示，几乎三分之一的被调查者曾经历过严重的个人、情感或心理问题。
