Health Care and Health Information Access by Parents With Young Children in Regional Queensland.

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
objectiveThe effects of childhood health, education and experiences can have long-term impacts on adult health and wellbeing. Access to health services and information can be complex especially in regional and rural areas of Australia. This research aimed to: (1) investigate how and where parents living in regional and rural Australia with young children search for health information and (2) explore how parents decide what is appropriate health information to enable them to meet the health needs of their families.
settingRegional and rural areas of Southern Queensland.
participantsParents with a child under the age of 5 years.
designA convergent mixed methods design was utilised. Parents participated in an online survey and were invited to in-depth semi-structured telephone interviews about their health information search methods. Inductive content analysis was applied to the transcripts.
resultsThe 11 interviewees searched for health information when their child was unwell, using the internet, family and friends and GPs and medical services. Websites were used for health information, whereas social media sites provided support and connection. The internet helped determine when to seek medical advice, and a preference was shown for Australian, hospital and government websites and websites recommended by GPs.
conclusionThe results may inform the development of targeted hospital and government websites to ensure all parents have easy access to evidence-based children's health information. GPs may also play a role in discussing internet-sourced health information with parents.
