May 2018 - April 2019. METHODOLOGY: Analytical cross-sectional descriptive study, the sample was randomized, consisting of 157 adolescents aged 10 to 18 years. For the bivariate analysis, chi square was used and to determine the intensity of RP association with 95% CI, significant p <0.005. RESULTS: It was determined that there is a statistically significant relationship between non-suicidal self-harm with: parenteral migration (RP 3.5, CI 1.5-8.4 p 0.002), depression (RP 8 CI 2.9-22.15 p 0.000) , be a victim of violence (RP 5,3,2, CI 2,3-12,6 p 0.000), and relationship between suicidal behavior with: parental migration (RP 4.38, CI 1.8-10.28 p 0.000 ), depression (RP 7.8 CI 3.8-16.2 p 0.000), consumption of psychoactive substances (RP 4.46, CI 1.6-12 p 0.002), being a victim of violence (RP 11.2, IC 5.2-23.3 p 0.000). They behaved as protective factors: to come from a functional family for non-suicidal self-harm and suicidal behavior and to belong to a social group only for non-suicidal self-harm.
