A novel Adolescent Health Behavior Checklist.
Article in Frontiers in public health, 2025. 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
Purpose: Adolescents are experiencing rising rates of obesity, insufficient exercise, and sleep disorders. To provide a scientific basis for policymakers to develop targeted and evidence-based health behavior education and policies, this study employed structural equation modeling to design the Adolescent Health Behavior Checklist (AHBC). Methods: We designed a draft 6-dimensional AHBC, which includes the dimensions of exercise, diet, personal responsibility, sleep, interpersonal relationships, and stress management. Each item is rated on a 5-point Likert scale, with higher scores indicating healthier behavior. Through exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), we optimized the construct validity of the AHBC. Results: The optimal factor structure was first determined using EFA with 177 middle school students participating in the process. EFA suggested a hierarchical, 6-factor AHBC with good internal consistency (global Cronbach's alpha = 0.96). Using an independent sample of 349 middle school students, CFA confirmed the construct validity of the AHBC. The final model demonstrated a good fit: SRMR = 0.058, CFI = 0.990. Five out of six latent variables had factor loadings higher than 0.7, and 81% of the item-level factor loadings exceeded 0.7. Additionally, all latent variables had McDonald's omega values higher than 0.7, indicating acceptable convergent validity. Finally, factor correlations showed that the AHBC has good discriminant validity. Conclusions: The AHBC is a 31-item checklist that assesses adolescents' all-around health behaviors, using a score of four as the benchmark value. The shortcomings of the current checklist are discussed, along with future theoretical and practical directions for improvement.
