The strange adolescent world that complicates general practitioner prevention: a qualitative study.
Article in BJGP open, 2025. 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
backgroundPrevention is important in the international primary care system. In adolescents, several prevention areas need to be addressed: sexual health, mental health, substance use and addiction, physical activity, screen use, and social relationships... However, consultations with adolescents are complex, which puts health professionals in a difficult position. While there are professional recommendations in many countries, they focus on a single theme.
aimTo understand the preventive approaches taken by general practitioners (GPs) in consultation with adolescents. DESIGN &
settingThis preliminary qualitative study used semi-structured interviews with French GPs. Participants were recruited following direct requests and sampled using the snowball sampling method.
methodAnalysis was conducted using grounded theory for the identification of conceptualizing categories.
resultsTwelve interviews led to the emergence of four conceptualizing categories: 1) the characteristics of adolescents make the preventive approach complex and generate a fear of failure for GPs; 2) the world of adolescents is foreign to GPs, which hinders empathetic relationships and has a negative impact on prevention; 3) as individuals, GPs approached adolescent prevention during consultations based on their own experiences (parenthood, their own adolescence, professional practices) and interpersonal skills; and 4) GPs propose an optimized prevention approach for adolescents.
conclusionGPs are opportunistic in terms of adolescent prevention: any occasion for consultation should be the object of a preventive action, whatever the initial motive. GPs require tools and consultations dedicated to prevention to optimize their approaches sometimes difficult. Further research about adolescents' experiences should be manage to complete GPs practical proposals.
