"Sacred ground for kids": Institutional perspectives on rural school-based health centers as patient-centered medical homes.

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
backgroundSchool-based health centers (SBHCs) can function as patient-centered medical homes (PCMHs), but few studies examine how SBHCs fit the PCMH definition and address the challenges of rural health disparities among children and adolescents.
methodsNote that 12 semi-structured interviews were conducted in four rural counties in New York State with school superintendents, SBHCs medical providers, and health care network administrators and between January 2024 and April 2024. Participants were identified using snowball sampling. Interviews were transcribed. Framework analysis was applied with thematic coding based on the PCMH framework. NVivo 14 was used to generate the final set of themes.
findingsOur analysis confirms SBHCs fit the PCMH model-accessibility, comprehensive, family-centered, coordinated, continuous, and compassionate care-to improve health care access for rural children and empower children to advocate for their own health. We identify privacy and confidentiality as additional important elements in the PCMH model, which ensure children's empowerment. However, they present special challenges for rural SBHCs. Addressing these challenges requires attention to information sharing between SBHCs and schools and the need for trust and communication to empower children, while not alienating school partners and parents. This may explain why so few rural SBHCs are PCMH.
conclusionsThis qualitative thematic analysis shows SBHCs can serve as PCMHs in rural communities. It also highlights the importance of privacy, confidentiality, trust, and communication between SBHCs, schools, parents, and children.
