Co-designing recommendations to improve adolescent and young adult healthcare in Queensland.
Article in BMJ open quality, 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
objectivesThis research aimed to identify and co-design recommendations to optimise adolescent and young adult (AYA) healthcare through the development of a statewide strategy.
methodsAn exploratory mixed methods co-design constructionist epistemological framework was used to identify recommendations. Participants comprised young people (15-25 years of age) with experience accessing healthcare for acute or chronic concerns, carers and professionals. Focus groups and a statewide survey were conducted concurrently.
resultsEighty-one individuals varying in location and fields across Queensland participated in nine focus groups. Themes and subthemes were successfully identified through the thematic analysis of the focus groups. Within the context of barriers and enablers, participants identified gaps and proposed recommendations to optimise care. Across the nine focus groups, consistent themes emerged, demonstrating sufficient data collection and saturation of responses. Additionally, 107 responses were collected, scored and ranked through the statewide survey prioritising predetermined recommendations to optimise AYA care, based on scoping work completed in 2020. Of the 57 recommendations presented to survey participants, 41 (71.9%) of these were classified as 'needed' and 'very important' to optimise AYA healthcare. Collective thematic analysis resulted in a list of prioritised recommendations to improve healthcare services for AYAs.
conclusionThe research highlighted two central priorities: overcoming systemic challenges within AYA healthcare and establishing a clear, consistent definition and model of quality care in Queensland. The combined findings strongly support the urgent need to embed standardised principles, approaches and practices across the health system to ensure equitable and effective care for all young people.
