Rethinking participation: design studios for health as a scalable co-design framework for health equity.
Article in Frontiers in public health, 2025. 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
Introduction: The Design Studios for Health (DSH) framework is a participatory, partnership-driven model designed to foster equitable collaboration between community members and researchers to address diverse health priorities. This study evaluates outcomes from 11 DSH sessions conducted over 2 years with historically underserved communities, focusing on key indicators of engagement: collaboration, facilitator performance, participant willingness to support each other, group cohesion, and trust. Grounded in design thinking and community-based participatory research (CBPR), the DSH model uses an iterative structure of 2-3 sessions per health topic to support sustained, meaningful engagement. DSH fosters shared ownership, multidirectional learning, and culturally responsive solution development. Methods: We conducted 11 DSH sessions with historically underserved communities over two years. Mixed-methods data were collected through post-session surveys, open-ended responses, and qualitative debriefs. Quantitative metrics assessed collaboration, facilitator performance, participant willingness to support others, cohesion, and trust. Qualitative analyses explored participant experiences, perceived value, and the role of iterative engagement in fostering co-creation. Results: Later DSH sessions demonstrated improvements in collaboration, group cohesion, and trust compared to earlier studios. Participants described DSH as a safe, empowering space that promoted deep listening, mutual support, and shared ownership. Iterative engagement allowed community members to refine ideas, elevate cultural insight, and contribute meaningfully to intervention development. A single-session studio on Women's Brain Health illustrated the model's adaptability across varied health topics. Conclusion: DSH functions as a scalable co-design framework that strengthens academic-community partnerships, builds trust, and supports community-led innovation. By centering lived experience and embedding iterative feedback loops, the model offers a practical, equity-oriented approach for co-creating culturally relevant health solutions with underserved populations.
