Service user involvement in the evaluation of psycho-social intervention for self-harm: a systematic literature review
Background: The efficacy of interventions and treatments for self-harm is well researched. Previous reviews of the literature have highlighted the lack of definitively effective interventions for self-harm and have highlighted the need for future research. These recommendations are also reflected in clinical guidelines published by the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE, 2004) which also call for service user involvement in studies of treatment efficacy. Aims: A systematic review was undertaken to determine i) what contributions service users have made to the evaluation of psychosocial interventions ii) by what methods have service users been involved iii) in what ways could service user involvement supplement empirical evidence for interventions

Sequentially Triggered Star Formation in OB Associations
We discuss observational evidence for sequential and triggered star formation
in OB associations. We first review the star formation process in the
Scorpius-Centaurus OB association, the nearest OB association to the Sun, where
several recent extensive studies have allowed us to reconstruct the star
formation history in a rather detailed way. We then compare the observational
results with those obtained for other OB associations and with recent models of
rapid cloud and star formation in the turbulent interstellar medium. We
conclude that the formation of whole OB subgroups (each consisting of several
thousand stars) requires large-scale triggering mechanisms such as shocks from
expanding wind and supernova driven superbubbles surrounding older subgroups.
Other triggering mechanisms, like radiatively driven implosion of globules,
also operate, but seem to be secondary processes, forming only small stellar
groups rather than whole OB subgroups with thousands of stars.Comment: Invited talk at the IAU Symposium 237: "Triggered Star Formation in a
Turbulent ISM", Prague, Czech Republic, August 200
