The Role of Proximity to Coordinated Specialty Care For Early Psychosis And Program Engagement in Washington State: The Interaction of Travel Time, Race, and Ethnicity.

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
objectiveProximity to mental health services is a predictor of timely access to services. The present study sought to investigate whether travel time was associated with engagement in coordinated specialty care (CSC) for early psychosis, with specific attention to whether the interaction of travel time by race and ethnicity had differential impact. DATA SOURCE/STUDY
settingData collected between 2019 and 2022 as part of the New Journeys evaluation, the CSC model in Washington State. STUDY
designThis cross-sectional study included a sample of 225 service users with first episode psychosis (FEP) who had received services from New Journeys. DATA COLLECTION: Service users' addresses, and the physical location of CSC were geocoded. Spatial proximity was calculated as travel time in minutes. Scheduled appointments, attendance and program status were captured monthly by clinicians as part of the New Journeys measurement battery. PRINCIPAL
findingsProximity was significantly associated with the number of appointments scheduled and attended, and program status (graduation/completion and disengagement). Among Hispanic service users with spatial proximity further away from CSC (longer commutes) was associated with a lower likelihood of graduating/completing CSC compared to non-Hispanic service users (p = .04). Non-white services users had a higher risk of disengagement from CSC compared to white service users (p = .03); additionally, the effects of spatial proximity on disengagement were amplified for non-White service users (p = .03).
conclusionsFindings suggest that proximity is associated with program engagement and partially explains potential differences in program status among ethnoracial group.
