- Background: Attempted suicide is a strong risk factor for subsequent suicidal behaviors. Innovative strategies to deal with people who have attempted suicide are needed, particularly in resource-poor settings. Aims: To evaluate a brief educational intervention and periodic follow-up contacts (BIC) for suicide attempters in five culturally different sites (Campinas, Brazil; Chennai, India; Colombo, Sri Lanka; Karaj, Islamic Republic of Iran; and Yuncheng, People’s Republic of China) as part of the WHO Multisite Intervention Study on Suicidal Behaviors (SUPRE-MISS). Methods: Among the 1,867 suicide attempters enrolled in the emergency departments of the participating sites, 922 (49.4%) were randomly assigned to a brief intervention and contact (BIC) group and 945 (50.6%) to a treatment as usual (TAU) group. Repeated suicide attempts over the 18 months following the index attempt – the secondary outcome measure presented in this paper – were identified by follow-up calls or visits. Subsequent completed suicide – the primary outcome measure – has been reported in a previous paper. Results: Overall, the proportion of subjects with repeated suicide attempts was similar in the BIC and TAU groups (7.6% vs. 7.5%, χ² = 0.013; p = .909), but there were differences in rates across the five sites. Conclusions: This study from five low- and middle-income countries does not confirm the effectiveness of brief educational intervention and follow-up contacts for suicide attempters in reducing subsequent repetition of suicide attempts up to 18 months after discharge from emergency departments.

Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Participation in all aspects of life is a right of children. However, in high-income countries, children with developmental disabilities (DD) are not afforded the same participation as their peers with typical development (TD). This can affect their life experiences and academic success. For children with DD, most of whom live in low- and middle–income countries (LMIC), understanding of how patterns of participation differ from their peers with TD is limited, which impacts how they are included in the classroom. This study described research on the participation of children with DD and their peers with TD in LMIC. A scoping review was conducted for studies on the participation of children with DD and their peers with TD from LMIC, using established assessments. Sixteen studies from eight middle-income countries were identified. These studies suggested that decreased participation for children with DD in comparison to their peers with TD was prevalent. Overall, the participation of children with DD and their peers with TD followed a similar pattern in the LMIC countries to that in high-income countries, with children with DD having lower participation in physical, social and skill-based activities, suggesting that the participation of children may follow universal patterns.

- Background: Research has shown that all children and adolescents have the right to participate in their everyday life. However, little is known about what impacts the participation of children and adolescents with disabilities living in low-and middle-income countries. Objective: The present study undertakes a scoping review of research to synthesise the current literature about barriers and facilitators to participation in everyday life for children and adolescents with disabilities living in lowland middle-income countries. Method: A scoping review was conducted. The databases Psyc INFO, MEDLINE, CINAHL, Pubmed, ERIC and African Wide information were searched for studies published between 2001 and April 2018. Data was analysed using deductive content analysis. The barriers and facilitators to participation were categorised into personal factors, social factors, environmental factors, and policy and programme factors. Result: In the end, 17 articles were included for data extraction as they mentioned barriers and facilitators to participation for children and adolescents with disabilities. Most of the reviewed studies reported on barriers to participation. Only one of the studies was performed in a country classified as a low-income country; all other studies were performed in middle-income countries. The results indicate that some factors, especially social factors, could be perceived as both facilitators and barriers to participation. Conclusion: There is a lack of studies describing barriers and facilitators in lowland middleincome countries. Barriers and facilitators in proximity to the child and family are most frequently described in the literature.

- BACKGROUND: The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between family routines, cognitive appraisal of the impact of autism spectrum disorders (ASD) on the family and family quality of life (FQOL) in families raising children with ASD in South Africa.METHODS: A sample of 180 families of young children with ASD who were receiving disability-related services in the Gauteng province of South Africa completed a self-administered survey. Structural equation modelling was used to examine the direct relationship between the regularity of family routines and FQOL, and the mediating effect of cognitive appraisal on this relationship.RESULTS: The results suggested a direct, positive relationship between the regularity of family routines and families' satisfaction with their FQOL. Furthermore, cognitive appraisal of the impact of ASD on the family mediated this relationship in a partial manner.CONCLUSION: A higher frequency of regular family routines was strongly associated with a higher satisfaction level of FQOL. Also, cognitive appraisal of the impact of ASD acted as a mechanism through which the regularity of family routines influenced FQOL. We discuss the research and clinical implications of these findings.
