Key Dimensions of Culturally Competent Mental Health Care for Roma and Traveller Populations: A Rapid Review.
Review in Journal of racial and ethnic health disparities, 2026. 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
Roma and Traveller communities are among the most historically and systemically excluded ethnic groups, experiencing substantially poorer health-related quality of life than mainstream populations and disproportionate rates of suicide. While they share common experiences of marginalisation and are often grouped in legislation, Roma and Traveller groups encompass a heterogenous set of communities with distinct cultural identities that should be appropriately reflected in the design and delivery of mental health services. This rapid review identifies key considerations for culturally competent mental health care and provides evidence-informed directions to guide service development. Peer-reviewed articles related to indigenous mental health published between 2015 and 2025 were identified using an adapted PICO framework. Searches were conducted within PsychInfo and Academic Search Complete, yielding 2815 records, of which 31 articles met the criteria for inclusion and analysis. Across the literature, three core themes were identified: (i) cultural awareness, (ii) collaborative health partnerships, and (iii) social determinants. The thematic synthesis of the empirical evidence reinforces the value of lived experience input into all stages of service design from conceptualisation to delivery and identifies several critical factors for creating cultural competence in mental health services, including trust building, promoting health literacy through inclusive education, and social participation in research and practice.
