Youth-to-youth empowerment study to support health equity for urban American Indian/Alaska Native and Black adolescents in Denver Metro, Colorado, USA: a mixed methods, youth-centred aetiological study protocol.
Article in BMJ 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
Introduction: Promoting positive substance use and sexual health outcomes for urban American Indian and Alaska Native (AIAN) and Black youth requires multilevel approaches that address the underlying structural conditions that promote behavioural health inequities. However, researchers rarely employ this complex approach. Developing and operationalising a strengths-based conceptual framework grounded in the socioecological model is a critical first step to inform multilevel interventions to reduce these inequities. Methods and analysis: Guided by the socioecological model, a youth-centred mixed methods approach will be employed to develop and evaluate a comprehensive multilevel conceptual framework of risks and protective factors associated with substance misuse and adverse sexual health behaviours among AIAN and Black youth of Denver Metro, Colorado. We will use multilevel structural equation modelling, with secondary and geographical data. The secondary data include the Healthy Kids Colorado Survey data (n=631 AIAN, n=5350 Black and n=30 557 non-Hispanic white), the Colorado Department of Education School View data (n=33 schools) and the American Community Survey data (n=73 neighbourhoods). We will also engage approximately 30 youth through scenario-based interviewing to capture perspectives on the constructs that are not captured in the secondary data. The quantitative and qualitative data will be integrated to elucidate a conceptual framework that will be used to develop and optimise a multilevel intervention to reduce adverse substance use and sexual health outcomes in AIAN and Black youth in Denver Metro, Colorado. Ethics and dissemination: The results of the study will be shared at conferences, meetings and in published articles. Study findings will also be presented to the local community through presentations, social media, newsletters, flyers and brochures. The names of all participants, schools and neighbourhoods will be kept private. This study was approved by the Colorado Multiple Institutional Research Board (protocol number 21-4038).
