Mobile Application Intervention for Prevention of Multiple Risk Behaviors among Thai Female Adolescents: A Quasi-experimental Study.
Article in International journal of community based nursing and midwifery, 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
Background: Multiple risk behaviors (MRB) among adolescents are correlated with adverse health outcomes. We have devised and examined the effect of a mobile application, STOP Multiple Risk Behaviors ("STOPMRB"), on perceived behavioral control and intention to avoid multiple risk behaviors (MRB) among Thai female adolescents. Methods: We conducted a two-group pre-post-test, quasi-experimental study involving Thai female adolescents aged 13-15 (N=60) in Samut Prakarn province, Thailand, between March and May 2021. Participants selected for the intervention group (N=30) were provided with access to a mobile application in conjunction with text messages for 8 weeks, whereas the control group (N=30) received standard education curricula. The primary outcome was self-reported risk behaviors. Secondary outcomes encompassed perceived behavioral control and intention to avoid MRB. Outcomes were analyzed using repeated measures ANOVA, Bonferrini test, Fisher's Exact test, and independent t-test through the software IBM SPSS version 28. A significance level was established at a P-value of less than 0.05. Results: Following a two-month intervention, no MRB was reported among the intervention group, whereas the control group showed 6.7% (P=0.492). The intervention group demonstrated significantly higher mean scores of perceived behavioral control (P<0.001) and the intention to avoid (P<0.001) in comparison to the control group at weeks 4 and 8. Conclusion: Mobile application, according to STOPMRB, could enhance perceived behavioral control and intention to evade MRB and less self-reported frequency of MRB.
