Comparison of average scores on measures by: quality of attachment (QOA) and presence/absence of NSSI.Method A convenience sample of 255 adolescents (45.5% women, ages 11-15) answered instruments in institutional facilities (Mexico City and Puebla), where 181 (71%) resided as IB and 74 (29%) resided in family home (EB). The mental health staff of each NGO specified according to the record: demographics, psychiatric diagnoses, history of trauma, and QOA between the minor and his attachment figure.Results 42% denied NSSI episodes, 16.9% indicated a non-significant pattern, and 35.6% reported a significant and recent pattern. IB presented higher scores in all measurements, higher report of interpersonal trauma, depressive, anxiety, and behavior disorders. Minors with positive QOA obtained significantly lower scores.Discussion and conclusion Compared to EB’s, adolescents residing in NGOs have a higher risk profile, particularly those without a positive QOA, a fact that is associated with a greater presence of psychopathology and significant and recent NSSI. 2021 artículo científico 0185-3325 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=58266576003 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/582/58266576003/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/582/58266576003/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/582/58266576003/58266576003.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/582/58266576003/movil 10.17711/SM.0185-3325.2021.009 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=582 Salud Mental application/pdf Instituto Nacional de Psiquiatría Ramón de la Fuente Muñiz Salud Mental (México) Num.2 Vol.44
