Barriers and facilitators of implementing a community workshop series to mitigate maternal-child food insecurity: a mixed-methods RE-AIM evaluation.
Article in BMC public 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
backgroundCommunity-led workshops offer promising health education models to advance maternal-child health equity by providing culturally congruent spaces for information sharing, resource access, and social support building. This study aimed to (1) document the participatory co-creation of a Community Workshop Series with topics across the Nurturing Care Framework domains (health, nutrition, early learning, security/safety, responsive caregiving) to mitigate maternal-child food insecurity, (2) evaluate CWS effectiveness in increasing participants' knowledge across the Nurturing Care Framework, and (3) identify CWS implementation barriers and facilitators.
methodsThe study employed two-phases: Phase One engaged members of a Community Advisory Board in participatory research to co-create Community Workshop Series topics based on Nurturing Care domains. Phase Two encompassed planning of Community Workshop Series implementation, training, outreach, and content development. Quantitative surveys assessed reach and effectiveness through food insecurity risk, demographics, knowledge change, and attendance barriers. Semi-structured interviews with workshop hosts underwent thematic analysis to identify barriers and facilitators across RE-AIM dimensions (Reach, Effectiveness, Adoption, Implementation, Maintenance).
resultsEight workshop topics across Nurturing Care Framework domains were defined and 17 workshops were pilot. Workshops reached 87 adults and 39 children, with 46% reporting risk for food insecurity. Participants demonstrated significant changes in self-rated knowledge, with 95% indicating likely application of workshop content. Thematic analysis identified 14 sub-themes across RE-AIM dimensions, including 35 barriers (i.e., outreach limitations, attendance challenges, lack of direct services) and 34 facilitators (i.e., culturally appropriate content, on-site childcare, organizational mission alignment).
conclusionAC ommunity Workshop Series with topics across the Nurturing Care Framework was successfully co-created and piloted. Participants showed significant knowledge increase after participation in the workshops. Despite implementation barriers, the community workshop series was found as a promising community level health education intervention to address maternal-child food insecurity within underserved communities.
