Clinicians' Experiences of an Online Training Programme in Assessing and Treating Body Dysmorphic Disorder in Youth: A Qualitative Study.
Article in Child psychiatry and human development, 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
The global rise in youth mental ill-health is exacerbated by a shortage of clinicians trained in evidence-based care, making it difficult to translate research into effective practice - especially for body dysmorphic disorder (BDD), an adolescent-onset condition that often goes undetected and untreated. This study aimed to explore clinicians' experiences of participation in an online educational programme focused on the assessment and treatment of BDD in youth. We also aimed to investigate their use of newly learned skills after completing the programme. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 12 clinicians who had completed the online education. Conventional content analysis was used, identifying three main categories. The online format - personal and flexible included reports on building personal connection within online education, flexibility allowing for individualised and integrated learning, and on-demand online supervision facilitating participation. Educational content - motivated learning and facilitated application concerned diverse perceptions of test value, challenge and impact, varying content presentation making the education effective and credible, interactive and practical content for real-world application, and personalised and supportive learning through detailed feedback. Learning outcomes - increased knowledge and changed working practices included descriptions of enhanced proficiency in assessment and treatment of BDD, transdiagnostic value and use, and spreading knowledge and improving clinical routines. Participants reported generally positive experiences of the training and changes in working practices following training. Limitations were also noted, such as insufficient applied skills training and peer support. Future improvements should focus on enhancing practical skills training and providing additional implementation support at both clinician and organisational level.
