Mental health disparities across demographic and social groups in Abu Dhabi.
Article in Discover mental 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
Mental health disparities are increasingly shaped by intersecting demographic and socioeconomic conditions. Anchored in the Social Determinants of Health framework, this study investigates variations in mental well-being among adults in Abu Dhabi using data from the 5th Cycle of the Abu Dhabi Quality of Life Survey (2023-2024), which included over 100,000 respondents. Drawing on a subset of 65,203 adults, we analysed key mental health indicators-such as sadness, anxiety, loneliness, fear, difficulty concentrating, and boredom-across population groups using descriptive statistics and ANOVA. The findings reveal statistically significant disparities by age, gender, nationality, education level, household head status, and employment sector. Notably, youth aged 15-29 reported the highest emotional stress, while females and non-Emiratis exhibited higher negative mental health indicators compared to their counterparts. Non-heads of households and private-sector employees also displayed elevated distress levels, reflecting structural vulnerabilities in occupational and social roles. These results underscore the multidimensional nature of mental health and the influence of systemic inequalities on psychological well-being. The study offers timely, locally grounded evidence to inform targeted mental health interventions and inclusive policy development in Abu Dhabi's rapidly evolving sociocultural landscape.
