Young people's sense of agency and responsibility towards promoting mental health in Brazil: a reflexive thematic analysis.
Article in BMJ open, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
objectivesThis study investigated how Brazilian young people perceive their role in promoting and supporting their peer community's mental health and well-being, and the conditions and contexts influencing their engagement.
designCo-produced qualitative study using in-depth interviews and focus groups with adolescents. The sessions were audio-recorded, transcribed and anonymised. Data were analysed using reflexive thematic analysis.
settingData collection took place remotely across Brazil via audio or video calls conducted by a youth collaborator and a senior researcher.
participants46 Brazilian adolescents aged between 15 and 18 years old, recruited primarily via social media.
resultsOur analysis generated four overarching themes: (1) young people's sense of responsibility and motivation-many participants felt committed to promoting the mental health and well-being of their friends and community, while also critically emphasising responsibilities of and partnerships with adult stakeholders to make a meaningful difference; (2) strategies for promoting peer mental health-suggested strategies included peer-to-peer support, such as non-judgemental listening, and collective actions such as forming school groups; (3) intrapersonal barriers-key barriers to participation included a lack of necessary skills and self-efficacy; and (4) contextual barriers-young people reported feeling unheard, invalidated, and fearing judgement due to mental health stigma.
conclusionThese findings support an ecological view of youth participation in the promotion of mental health as dependent on intrapersonal, interpersonal and contextual factors. Realising young people's potential in advancing mental health in their communities requires fostering youth-adult partnerships, providing peer support training, and combating adultism and mental health stigma.
