Examining attitudes towards mental health treatment and experiences with trauma: Understanding the needs of trauma-exposed middle-aged and older adults.
Article in Journal of community psychology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Middle-aged and older adults who have been exposed to traumatic events may have specific developmental needs with respect to engagement in mental health treatment. The current study examined factors that potentially facilitate or inhibit attitudes towards mental health service use (ATMHSU) in a trauma-exposed sample of treatment-seeking adults of age 50 years and older. In this mixed-methods study, quantitative data (N = 165) were analyzed to examine relationships with trauma exposure, posttraumatic stress disorder, quality of life (QOL), and ATMHSU. Semi-structured interviews were conducted assessing similar constructs with a subsample of the data (n = 12). Regression analysis revealed higher QOL-environmental well-being as associated with more positive ATMHSU and higher QOL-social support with more negative ATMHSU. Qualitative themes emerged around perceived distress in managing lifelong traumas due to challenges with functioning, coping, and accessing services. Emphasizing resources to help manage the impact of distress on daily life needs may support aging trauma-exposed populations.
