Culturally Informed Digital Behavioral Intervention Development for Inflammatory Bowel Disease: A Qualitative Study.
Article in Inflammatory bowel diseases, 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
backgroundRecognition of the bidirectional effects between psychological distress (ie, anxiety, depression, perceived stress) and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) activity has led to efforts to integrate behavioral medicine in the management of IBD. As part of a broader project focused on testing the feasibility and acceptability of digital mind-body interventions among a greater diversity of people with IBD, we collected qualitative data on the lived experience of patients from Black and/or Hispanic backgrounds in an outpatient gastroenterology setting. We aimed to understand how racial and ethnic background influences patients' illness perceptions and receptivity to a digital mind-body intervention for psychological distress in IBD.
methodsData were collected (2022-2023) via semi-structured interviews among IBD patients (n = 25) attending an outpatient gastroenterology practice. All data collection occurred virtually and was audio recorded. Transcripts were thematically analyzed and coded via NVivo software.
resultsWe identified 3 core themes regarding the influence of racial and ethnic background on IBD experience with relevance to intervention design and content: broad impact of racial and cultural identity on IBD; resonance of gut-brain interaction with personal experience notwithstanding barriers to mental healthcare; and acceptance of digital technology in everyday life and health. For most, digital technology was part of their everyday life, and a digitally delivered self-management resource would be welcome.
conclusionsRacial and ethnic background influences IBD patients' illness perception, coping, and desires for support. Findings can directly inform the design and content of digital behavioral interventions in IBD towards increased applicability and equitable engagement.
