• Knowledge, Attitudes, and experiences of suicide and self-harm in low- and middle income countries: A meta-synthesis of qualitative research.

  Suicide disproportionately affects low and middle income countries (LMICs) and presents farreaching social, emotional and economic consequences for families, communities and society as a whole. An understanding of suicide and self-harm within the cultural, political and economic context of LMICs is fundamental to affecting change. The aim of this study was to synthesize qualitative research on knowledge, attitudes and experiences of self-harm and suicide of various stakeholders in LMICs. We have searched Medline, Embase, PsycInfo, CINAHL, BNI, Social Sciences and Cochrane library databases from inception until July 2019. 9,150 and preliminary findings are presented. Meta-ethnographic methods were used to synthesize the results of qualitative studies. A chronological approach was taken towards reciprocal translation. The results can inform the development of further research on knowledge, attitudes and experiences of suicide and self-harm in LMICs.

• Sensitive self harm and mental health research in South Asia: How to best support local researchers

  This talk was given as part of a symposium titled: "AFTER TRAUMA: NARRATIVE AND APPLIED APPROACHES".

  The talk focused on understanding of the impact of working with sensitive topics such as self-harm and mental health illness where there is a lack of evidence from capacity building projects with partners from the Global North and South where local research assistants are employed. Research with trained health professionals suggests experiences of distress, helplessness and even trauma when working with sensitive topics. The presentation drew on the experiences from research assistants of the South-Asia Self-Harm Initiative (SASHI) project We used a reflective collaborative approach as outlined by Finlay and Gough (2003). We payed particular attention to the social, economic and cultural context, as self-harm and mental health illness are topics associated with taboos, stigma and potential marginalisation in South Asia. Based on our experiences, we shared lessons learned and formulate recommendations for good research practice.

• Ethical considerations when conducting qualitative research in mental health in low- and middle-income countries

  Conference workshop: There is a need for qualitative research that is culturally sensitive and focuses on the perspectives of people within their local contexts. Religious, social, and cultural norms as well as differences in wealth may affect the interpretation of ethical principles. For example, Asian countries have religious and cultural traditions that emphasise the family and public interest rather than the Western focus on individual rights.

  The aim of this workshop was to explore ethical considerations when conducting qualitative research in low- and middle income countries on topics that may be taboo or stigmatised, such as self harm and mental health. As part of the workshop, we shared experiences and learning from our project, the South Asia Self Harm Initiative (SASHI). This covered a range of challenges such as gaining meaningful consent, sensitive interviewing and issues around power.

• SASHI Networking Event

  SASHI Networking event Manchester

  This was an international networking event put on by the SASHI research project to bring practitioners and academics from different backgrounds and service users together to meet and to discuss research needs in the area of self harm and suicide in Low and Middle Income Countries (LMICs). This interactive event provided a forum for people from different backgrounds to come together and explore different view points. Research questions with real world relevant were developed and SASHI will further facilitate the development of these. Interest groups of people have formed who will explore taking specific research ideas forward.

  Summary: This was an international networking event put on by the South Asia Self Harm Initiative to bring practitioners, academics and service users together to meet and to discuss research needs in the area of self harm and suicide in Low and Middle Income Countries (LMICs). This interactive event provided a forum for people from different backgrounds to come together and explore different points of view. Research questions with real world relevant were developed and SASHI will further facilitate the development of these (also see: http://sashi.bangor.ac.uk/news/networking-event-in-manchester-6th-of-november-38753)

  Underpinning research: This was part of the South Asia Self Harm Initiative programme of work which is reaching out to reduce suicide and self harm in South Asia whilst also facilitating reserach capacity building.

  Beneficiaries: Beneficiaries include practitioners, researchers and service users from Low and Middle Income and High Income Countries.

  Integration or fragmentation of care services? Dissemination event for the Social Network Analysis for modelling integrated care services for older people with complex needs study.

  We presented the findings of the research to service users and service providers and discussed how the findings can inform and be implemented in practice. Several practical ideas were generated and participants hope to take these forward into their organisations.

  Summary: We presented the findings of the project to service users and service providers and discussed how the findings can inform and be implemented in practice. We found that althoug the importance of partnership working is recognised, there is a lack of awareness and communiction, complicated by a lack of funding for partnership working. Several practical ideas were generated and participants hoped to take these forward into their organisations.

  Underpinning research: The Social Network Analysis for modelling integrated care services for older people with complex needs study is a Health and Care Reserach Wales funded project. The aim of this research was to test the feasibility of applying SNA in an integrated social care setting in order to model the complex systems that deliver care services to older people with complex needs. We had two main research questions:

  1. What organisational links currently exist for the provision of integrated social care services for community dwelling older people with complex needs?

  2. What are the gaps, barriers and enablers in linking services as perceived by key service stakeholders?

  Beneficiaries: Older people with complex needs.

  Notes: I was one of the co-applicants of the grant, collected and anaylsed qualitative data, was one of the event organisers and presented at the event
