Low- and middle-income countries account for 75% of global suicide deaths but produce less than 10% of research. South Asia has the highest rate of female suicide fatalities worldwide. In this talk, Dr. Ashley Hagaman discusses research to address the disparate burden of suicide through decolonized and co-designed interventions and implementation strategies to optimize their uptake in resource strained settings. We highlight culturally anchored forms of safety planning (and its implementation) that privilege local ways of knowing, doing, and accessing help. We also highlight strategies to measure implementation domains of fidelity, acceptability, and quality.
