1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundNew approaches to mental health and substance use prevention, that bridge research and diagnostic silos are urgently needed to address rising trends in mental illness amongst young people. Engaging diverse stakeholders, including young people, in setting research priorities could aid the development of innovative responses, enhance research and improve translation. While previous activities have identified priorities for Australian mental health and substance use prevention research, none have centred young people as a primary stakeholder. The current study is a critical next step to understand youth perspectives.

methodsThis Youth Priorities Project was coproduced with members of The Matilda Centre and PREMISE NHMRC Centre of Research Excellence Youth Advisory Board. The project involved three iterative stages: (1) an online survey; (2) consultations via focus groups and (3) a final consensus workshop to summarise key recommendations for principles, priorities and actions.

resultsA diverse group of young people aged 16-25 were recruited for Stage 1 (n = 653), Stage 2 (n = 7) and Stage 3 (n = 3). Youth participants emphasised the need for increased investment in prevention research targeting a broad range of social determinants and health behaviours and their intersecting effects on youth mental ill health. There were strong calls to government to address economic drivers of mental health, to increase timely access to subsidised mental health support, and to better equip schools to support student wellbeing and mental health.

conclusionYoung people had valuable and unique insights on how research and policy responses regarding youth mental health and substance use could be improved. PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION: A coproduction Research Team (CPRT) was established, including two youth researchers who guided all stages of the research from conceptualisation, ethics approval, survey and study design, analysis and write-up. A Youth Advisory Board was also consulted.
