Validation of the comprehensive assessment of acceptance and commitment therapy processes for youth: The CompACT-Y.
Article in JCPP advances, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07350954 (Assessing the Acceptability and Feasibility of TRUST, a Brief Intervention for Paranoia in Adolescents.), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract
Background: Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a transdiagnostic approach which aims to increase psychological flexibility. Higher psychological flexibility has been associated with reduced psychological distress, mental health symptoms and improvements in well-being and functioning. Reviews of ACT for children and young people (CYP) indicate it shows potential as an effective treatment for a range of difficulties, however a comprehensive measure of psychological flexibility processes does not exist for CYP. Following revision of the adult Comprehensive assessment of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy Processes (CompACT), through cognitive interviewing with adolescents and consultation with ACT experts, the present study aimed to assess the factor structure and validity of the revised youth measure (the CompACT-Y). Method: The CompACT-Y measure was administered alongside measures of ACT processes, mental health and well-being to 334 young people across six UK schools, to assess for convergent and concurrent validity. Results: Exploratory factor analysis indicated a 19-item three-factor structure was the most stable, with all items loading above 0.50. The CompACT-Y correlated with measures of psychological flexibility ( Conclusions: The CompACT-Y appears to be a valid and reliable measure of psychological flexibility in young people. Further research is needed to replicate the findings and confirm factor structure, validity and reliability, particularly in younger adolescents and those from diverse backgrounds. The CompACT-Y offers a promising tool to improve the methodological rigour of ACT studies in young people, and has implications for the use of ACT in clinical practice.
