Australian settlement workers' use of food security information resources with refugee clients: a qualitative exploration.
Article in Public health nutrition, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
objectiveRefugees are susceptible to food insecurity. In high-income countries (HIC), settlement workers (SW) provide information, including food security information resources, to newly arrived refugees. Australia has a range of resources, but their use in settlement work is unknown. This study's aims were to explore SW's resource use with refugee clients.
designThis descriptive, qualitative study explored SW's perceptions regarding resource use. One-on-one interviews, using a semi-structured guide, were conducted. The Technology Acceptance Model's usage constructs (including Actual Use and Perceived Usefulness) informed the guide and analytical constructs. Under these constructs, emergent usage themes were identified.
settingSix Australian cities.
participantsSettlement workers.
resultsFourteen workers were interviewed. Thirteen worked for government-related departments. Most used resources as part of client welcome packs to address acute food insecurity and/or support clinical deficiency issues. Print, pictorial, translated and co-designed resources were perceived to be most useful. Less useful were resources with limited cultural tailoring, translation issues and high literacy demand. There was limited use of digital resources due to variations in clients' digital access and literacy. Opportunities for improvement include streamlining access, addressing topics such as clinical deficiencies related to food insecurity and increasing culturally nuanced translation.
conclusionsDevelopment of culturally appropriate resources, facilitating resource access and improved food culture information may help SW better support refugee populations with food security challenges during resettlement in HIC.
