Clinical and research questions on suicidal ideation often refer to thoughts of specific self-harm methods, i.e cutting or self-poisoning. We are interested in investigating whether the term of self-harm ideation should be operationalized to represent those who specifically think about self-harm methods. 

The intervention group could be groups receiving CenteringPregnancy prenatal care. In CenteringPregnancy, prenatal care is provided in ten 120 minutes group sessions with six to twelve pregnant women that have due dates in the same 4–6 week range.

The intervention is the administration of nitrates in any form (including glyceryl trinitrate, isosorbide dinitrate, nitroprusside, and trinitrin), via any route (including sublingual, transdermal, or intravenous – bolus or infusion), and with any dose (provided that the dose administered is listed). 

Repetitive sensory stimulation (RSS) is a form of electrical simulation, delivered to the skin via pads or embedded in a glove, which aims to promote improvements in motor function. For the purposes of this review, several forms of sensory stimulation were included, namely electrical somatosensory stimulation (ESS), repetitive peripheral sensory stimulation (RPSS) peripheral nerve stimulation (PNS) and peripheral sensory stimulation (PSS). However, RSS is distinct from functional electrical stimulation which requires provision of the electrical stimulation alongside an attempted movement or neuromuscular stimulation which aims to produce a muscular contraction. 

This review will consider a broad range of studies that report on patients with a voice disorder and include: 1) the development or description of a voice disorder classification framework and / or classification criteria (i.e. groups of conditions); 2) a description of defined criteria used to describe one or more voice disorder classification group(s) / framework.

Studies considered for inclusion will: 1) provide enough descriptive detail of the structure of the classification system to allow for a summary description; 2) use well defined methodological approaches to determine a set of criteria.  (e.g. a consensus approach based on expert opinion; statistical modeling; systematic literature reviews; methods considering multiple diagnostic tests).

The review will consider psychosocial interventions for family carers aimed at improving resilience. 'Psychosocial intervention' is defined as any intervention that focuses on psychological and/ or social factors rather than biological factors. This therefore includes all psychological interventions specified by the UK Department of Health review of psychological therapies including counseling. Social interventions may include but not limited to social skills training and befriending (Ruddy & House, 2005). Psycho-social interventions with the following features will be included in the review:
• The types of interventions include: counseling, psycho-education, behavioral or cognitive interventions, peer group, coping strategies, social problem solving, knowledge and skills training for caregivers.
• The formats of interventions include: individual format, group interaction or support, telephone care or support, and web-based support.
• The settings of interventions include the acute setting, home or community setting. Institutional settings involving paid carers will be excluded.
• The providers of the interventions include: nurses, physicians, mental health doctors, psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, speech therapists, or other allied health providers.
• Psychosocial interventions and programs of different duration, of various length and frequency of each session.
