Diagnoses of Mental Health Disorders Among Norwegian-Born Youth and Young Adults with Immigrant Parents-A Register-Based Study.
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
Adolescence and early adulthood are associated with an increase in mental health problems. Migration is also a risk factor for mental disorders. Yet, we know little about the risk of mental disorders among young descendants of immigrants. This study aims to investigate the risk of being diagnosed with a mental disorder between the ages of 16-30 years among those born in Norway with at least one immigrant parent compared to those with Norwegian-born parents. Data were sourced from the Medical Birth Registry of Norway, the Norwegian Patient Register, and Statistics Norway. Cox proportional hazard regressions were used to estimate hazard ratios (HR) of receiving diagnoses of depression, anxiety, bipolar affective disorders, eating disorders, and schizophrenia among those with one or two immigrant parents, in total and by parental region of origin. Individuals with Norwegian-born parents were the reference group. Analyses were adjusted for sex, year of birth, and parental education. Individuals with two immigrant parents had a lower hazard of most mental disorder diagnoses, including anxiety, depression, bipolar affective disorder, and eating disorders, compared to those with Norwegian-born parents, but a higher hazard of a schizophrenia diagnosis. Individuals with one immigrant parent showed a higher hazard of mental disorder diagnoses compared to those with two Norwegian-born parents. These patterns were generally consistent across parental regions of origin. The findings show a lower risk of a diagnosis among those with two immigrant parents. It is unclear whether this is due to better health, different patterns of help-seeking or barriers to care. Higher risk of diagnoses among those with one immigrant parent points towards a need for targeted preventive measures.
