Parent Mental Health Problems and Motivation as Predictors of Their Engagement in Community-Based Child Mental Health Services.
Article in Children and youth services review, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers.
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
Parent or caregiver engagement in child mental health treatment is an important element of treatment effectiveness, particularly for children with disruptive behavior problems. Parent or caregiver characteristics, such as their mental health and/or motivation to participate in treatment, may impact engagement and subsequent treatment outcomes. However, a lack of empirical research exists examining these potential links, particularly in community-based treatment settings. The current pilot study: 1) examines whether parent mental health problems and/or early parent motivation to participate in treatment predict three indicators of parent engagement in child treatment, controlling for the other predictor; and 2) examines and compares the differential influence of parent mental health and parent motivation on each parent engagement indicator. Participants in this study include 19 dyads from 18 therapists who were recruited from community mental health clinics. Results indicated a significant association between parent mental health and session attendance, and a marginally significant association between parent mental health and therapist-rated parent engagement. Parent mental health predicted outcomes above and beyond parent motivation. These findings preliminarily suggest that parent mental health problems early in child mental health treatment may be important to consider as an impactful target to promote parent treatment engagement, in addition to focusing on parent motivation to participate in treatment.
