Associations between violence in childhood, depression and suicide attempts in adolescence: evidence from a cohort study in Luwero district, Uganda by Akunzirwe, R, Carter, DJ, Hanna, L, Zinke-Allmang, A, Akim, A, Datzberger, S, Parkes, J, Knight, L, Atuhaire, L, Nakuti, J, Mirembe, A, Allen, E, Naker, D, Devries, K, Bhatia, A

“…However, few studies use longitudinal data from low- and middle-income countries with attention to how associations differ by experiencing specific types of violence or alongside different contexts of peer and family support. In this study, we quantify the association between experiences of violence in early adolescence and depression and suicide attempts in late adolescence and explore whether this association is modified by family and peer connectedness. …”

Dynamic fracture mechanics of FRP-concrete interface by Li, Gen
