In Their Own Words: Qualitative Study of Parenting During the COVID-19 Pandemic.
Article in Journal of developmental and behavioral pediatrics : JDBP, 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
objectiveThe authors aimed to understand the experience of parents and caregivers during COVID-19, including the challenges they faced and what helped them cope using the Strengthening Families (SF) Approach and Protective Factors Framework's five factors: parental resilience, social connections, knowledge of parenting and child development, concrete support in times of need, and social and emotional competence of children.
methodsThe Family Snapshot Survey was developed to assess the impact of COVID-19 on family life, including items for quantitative analysis and 2 open-ended responses. This national survey of 9000 parents recruited from an opt-in internet panel was conducted in 3 waves of 3000 in November 2020, February 2021, and July 2021 using the online YouGov platform. The 2 open-ended responses are analyzed here using qualitative thematic analysis based on the SF Approach and Protective Factors Framework for caregivers with children aged 0 to 5 years.
resultsThe SF factors were used to classify 770 responses, with many responses identified as containing multiple factors, representing their interrelated nature. A lack of concrete support was the most frequent challenge, and parental resilience was the most frequent support.
conclusionAccess or lack of access to concrete support in times of need underscored many of the strengths and challenges, respectively. Participants described interactions between individual protective factors that allowed for safety, stability, or positive experiences. In future community policy creation, policymakers may look at how programs interact and allow families to access multiple protective factors at once, with a critical need for providing these concrete supports.
