Healthcare access, attitudes and behaviours among Navajo adults during the COVID-19 pandemic: a cross-sectional study.
Article in BMJ public health, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Objective: To assess factors associated with positive COVID-19 tests, perspectives on health-related care delivery during pandemic, and factors supporting resilience among members of the Navajo Nation. Methods and Analysis: From May through October 2021, a multi-institutional team recruited participants (n=154) to complete a 49-item questionnaire or participate in focus group (n=14) about their experience with COVID-19 and the effects on their use and access to allopathic and traditional health care. A multi-investigator, phenomenological approach summarized focus group experiences. Results: While 72% had been tested for COVID-19, only 27.5% reported a positive test. Positive tests were not associated with household size or multigenerational homes, though time to grocery store was (p=0.04). There were no significant differences in allopathic or traditional medical care experiences from before and during the pandemic. Despite limited internet access, 28.8% chose a telehealth appointment and 42% expressed satisfaction with their experience. Discussion themes revealed perceived disruptions of healthcare needs with acknowledgement that healthcare providers were supportive throughout the Navajo Nation quarantine. Conclusion: Presence of co-morbidities and living in multigenerational homes do not explain the disproportionate effects of COVID-19 among American Indian communities. Strengthening family and community bonds supported resilience in these communities.
