Formal and informal mental health support in young adults with recurrently depressed parents.

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
backgroundA family history of mental illness, particularly parental depression, is a risk factor for mental health difficulties in young people, with this heightened risk extending into adulthood. Evidence suggests low rates of formal mental health support in children/adolescents with depressed parents, but it is unknown whether this pattern persists into adulthood and applies to informal support.
aimsWe examined the prevalence of formal and informal mental health support accessed by young adults with recurrently depressed parents. We identified factors associated with access to different support, and report satisfaction with support.
methodThe sample included 144 young adults (mean age 23 years, range 18-28 years) who completed psychiatric assessments and reported on their use of mental health support in a cross-sectional analysis of a longitudinal cohort study (wave 4). Regression analyses explored predictors for support.
resultsYoung adults accessed a range of formal (29%) and informal (56%) support. Among those with a psychiatric disorder, nearly half had not accessed formal support and a fifth had not accessed any support. Predictors of support included psychiatric disorder, severity indicators (e.g. self-harm/suicidal thoughts, impairment) and demographic factors (e.g. education, gender). Predictors varied by type of support. Most participants reported satisfaction with support.
conclusionsYoung adults at high risk of mental disorders accessed various mental health support. However, many did not access/receive support when needed. Further work is required to improve access to tailored support.
