Extreme weather events and refugee youths' experiences of physical health in a Ugandan humanitarian setting: qualitative insights.
Article in International journal of qualitative studies on health and well-being, 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
purposeRefugee settlements globally experience increased exposure to extreme weather events (EWE) compared with host national settings; however, refugee youth climate-related health experiences in humanitarian settings are understudied. We explored the lived experiences of climate change and EWE related to physical health among refugee youth aged 16-24 in a Ugandan refugee settlement.
methodsWe conducted a community-based, multi-method study. We purposively sampled refugee youth living in a Northern Ugandan refugee settlement reporting recent (past 14-day) EWE and/or resource insecurity. We conducted 32 refugee youth walk-along interviews to elicit a rich understanding of lived experiences in a target environment. During each interview, the youth brought the research assistant to places where they obtained resources (i.e. food, water, sanitation), took photos of their chosen places on a tablet, and described the photo and the place. We also conducted 12 in-depth interviews with key informants, comprising adults with experience working in this refugee settlement on refugee well-being, food security, water and sanitation hygiene (WASH), and/or climate change. We analysed the findings using template thematic analysis informed by the resource scarcity framework, which examines ecologic, social, and socioeconomic factors associated with resource insecurities.
findingsParticipants (
conclusionsThe findings highlight the need for better WASH infrastructure and increased food aid in Ugandan humanitarian settings, along with refugee youth-led initiatives to address the impacts of climate change on refugee well-being.
