Approaches to Promote Handwashing and Sanitation Behaviour Change in Low- and Middle-income Countries: A Mixed Method Systematic Review, funded by 3ie, WSSCC and Belgian Red Cross KU Leuven
Diarrhoeal diseases are very common causes of death in low and middle-income countries. The aim for this systematic review was to show which promotional approaches might change handwashing and sanitation behaviour, and which implementation factors affect the success or failure of such promotional approaches.
We conducted a thorough search to find both published and unpublished studies where both children and adults from low- and ...

The social ecology of the wish for euthanasia in adults with psychiatric conditions: a mixed methods study of factors and mechanisms. Ghent University

Moreover, existing models in suicidology do not seem readily ...
A Functional-Cognitive Perspective on Social Modulation of Imitation in Individuals With and Without Autism Spectrum Disorder Ghent University
Evidence on social modulation of imitation is mixed and inconclusive, due to the absence of a strong theoretical framework and low ecological validity of previous studies. With this project, we aim to resolve both issues, by combining a functional-cognitive framework with an ecologically valid virtual-reality task, to investigate social modulation of imitation in individuals with and without Autism Spectrum Disorder.
