Utilizing Ripple Effects Mapping to Assess the Impact of an Undergraduate Global Health Program.
Article in Annals of global health, 2023. 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
Background: In the last ten years, there has been a dramatic rise in student interest in global health as an academic discipline and an increase in academic offerings in the field at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. However, information is limited on the impact of global health programming on students, alumni, and partners involved. Objective: The objective of this study was to utilize Ripple Effects Mapping (REM) to assess the impact of an undergraduate Global Health Program on students, alumni, and international partners. Methods: REM, a new, innovative, community-centered research methodology was employed in this research study whereby three REM focus group sessions, each with 10-11 participants, were facilitated. A multi-layered textual, thematic analysis was used to analyze the data collected from REM focus group sessions. Findings: After analysis, six thematic areas emerged, each with their own underlying qualities of growth, or sub-themes, which provide insight into the manner in which the major themes contributed to student learning. Furthermore, programmatic components were identified, which aided student growth and learning. Conclusions: Findings suggest that the undergraduate Global Health Program has promoted and facilitated student growth and learning in various capacities. This study fills a gap in existing research and current knowledge by outlining the impact of an undergraduate Global Health Program on students. Additional studies should be conducted to further explore the impact of Global Health Programming on students and stakeholders.
