Understanding further education as a context for public health intervention: qualitative findings from a study process evaluation.
Article in Journal of public health (Oxford, England), 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundOver 1.2 million 16-18 year-olds are enrolled in further education (FE-advanced secondary education) in England. Life course transitions provide opportunities to change, establish or reinforce health behaviours. FE presents an opportunity for public health improvement, yet few interventions target this setting. Using a smoking prevention intervention, we explore how young people were viewed in FE and how this affected intervention acceptability.
methodsEleven student and five staff focus groups were conducted in three intervention institutions (two colleges, one school sixth-form), as part of the process evaluation of a smoking prevention feasibility study. FE managers in intervention and control institutions were also interviewed (n = 5). Data were analysed using thematic analysis.
resultsIn both colleges and the sixth-form, students were viewed as emergent adults and treated differently from 'school-children', in practice if not in policy. Colleges permitted smoking in designated areas; in the school sixth-form smoking was unofficially tolerated but concealed from younger students. Using staff to deliver anti-smoking messages reintroduced an unwanted power dynamic which disrupted perceptions of students as young adults.
conclusionsFE is an important setting for young people's health. Understanding the culture and context of FE is critical in designing acceptable and effective public health interventions.
