Evaluating practices in the management of youth nicotine vaping in hospital-based child and youth mental health and addictions settings in Canada: protocol for a mixed-methods study.
Article in BMJ open, 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
introductionNicotine vaping is common among children and youth, and even more so among those with mental health concerns. Identifying and managing nicotine vaping in child and youth mental health treatment settings is key to addressing this modifiable risk factor for poorer physical and mental health in young people. Recommendations exist for screening, assessment and treatment of youth vaping; however, it remains unclear whether current practices in child and youth mental health programmes align with recommended standards. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: An explanatory sequential mixed methods design with three stages will be employed. In the first stage, a cross-sectional survey will be distributed to all eligible Canadian hospitals to identify practices in assessment and treatment of nicotine vaping within their child and youth mental health and addictions programmes. This survey will also assess barriers and facilitators for the uptake of the 2021 Canadian Paediatric Society recommendations on management of youth vaping. Semi-structured focus groups and interviews will be conducted in stage two, with clinicians, managers, youth and caregivers. Qualitative data will be analysed using a reflexive thematic approach. In stage three, findings and proposed behaviour change interventions will be reviewed at a knowledge mobilisation meeting with the goal of developing a national knowledge mobilisation plan to improve assessment and treatment of youth vaping in hospital-based mental health and addictions programmes. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: This study has received ethics approval from the Research Ethics Board at the Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario (Protocol #25/19X). Participants will provide informed consent prior to participating. Results will be published in peer-reviewed journals and presented at scientific conferences. Summaries will be provided to the funders of the study and to participating hospitals.
