Training to Act (Formar para Actuar): Peer-to-Peer Education to Promote Health Among Vulnerable Immigrant Women in Barcelona (Spain).
Article in Journal of immigrant and minority 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
"Formar para actuar" (FxA; "Training to act") is an innovative peer-to-peer educational program that employs a training-action model with a gender and intercultural perspective. The program aims to enhance knowledge and empower immigrant women to advocate for health promotion within their communities. This study assesses FxA program's impact on knowledge acquisition and participant satisfaction. Conducted across four FxA editions (2018, 2020, 2021, 2022), this before-and-after intervention study evaluates a structured two-module approach implemented consecutively in each edition. In Module 1 (Training), migrant women with leadership and community ties attended 12 h of training led by healthcare professionals, covering sexual and reproductive health and communication strategies. Those identifying a peer group advanced to Module 2 (Action), acting as peer educators and leading workshops. Self-reported questionnaires covering sociodemographics, knowledge and satisfaction, were collected from both peer educators and participants. Knowledge impact comparisons before and after the intervention were performed using paired t-tests. Module 1 of the FxA program trained 29 migrant women as peer educators; 20 continued in Module 2, delivering workshops to 166 participants who faced higher vulnerability levels, including language barriers, fewer years in Europe, and lower educational levels. The study revealed significant knowledge improvements, particularly among women participants. Overall satisfaction was high. This study highlights the program's effectiveness in transmitting health promotion messages within vulnerable environments by training immigrant women as peer educators. The findings provide valuable insights to implement the program in other regions and further reinforce its application in public health programs.
