1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated mental health concerns and stress among American Indians and Alaska Natives (AI/ANs) in the United States, as well as among frontline workers responding to the pandemic. Psychological First Aid (PFA) is a promising intervention to support mental wellbeing and coping skills during and after traumatic events, such as the COVID-19 pandemic. Since PFA is often implemented rapidly in the wake of a disaster or traumatic event, evidence evaluating its impact is lacking. This paper reports pilot evaluation results from a culturally adapted PFA training designed to support COVID-19 frontline workers and the AI/AN communities they serve during the pandemic. Methods: This study was designed and implemented in partnership with a collaborative work group of public health experts and frontline workers in AI/AN communities. We conducted a pre-post, online pilot evaluation of a culturally adapted online PFA training with COVID-19 frontline workers serving AI/AN communities. Participants completed a baseline survey and two follow-up surveys 1 week and 3 months after completing the PFA training. Surveys included demographic questions and measures of anxiety, burnout, stress, positive mental health, communal mastery, coping skills, PFA knowledge, confidence in PFA skills, and satisfaction with the PFA training. Results: Participants included Discussion: To our knowledge, this is the first pilot evaluation of a PFA training designed and culturally adapted with and for AI/AN communities. Given that many AI/AN communities were disproportionately impacted by COVID-19 and prior mental health inequities, addressing acute and chronic stress is of crucial importance. Addressing traumatic stress through culturally adapted interventions, including Indigenous PFA, is crucial to advancing holistic wellbeing for AI/AN communities.
