Development and validation of the mental health service demand and utilization questionnaire.
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. 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
Background: As the global burden of mental health issues continues to grow, significant gaps persist in assessing the demand for and utilization of mental health services, particularly among vulnerable populations such as adolescents and older adults. Existing assessment tools often lack cultural and policy relevance, limiting their applicability across diverse social, political, and medical contexts. Guided by a revised Demand and Utilization Framework for Mental Health Services (R-MUSDU), this study aimed to develop and validate a comprehensive Mental Health Service Demand and Utilization Questionnaire (MHSDUQ). The instrument incorporates contextual, individual, and service-related factors to provide a more accurate evaluation of both service needs and patterns of utilization. Methods: The questionnaire was developed based on the R-MUSDU framework. Initial items were generated through literature clustering analysis ( Results: The Service Needs subscale demonstrated high internal consistency (Cronbach's Conclusion: The MHSDUQ demonstrated high validity, internal consistency, and reliability. It is a theory-based and empirically validated tool that can be used to evaluate the mental health service needs and utilization patterns of adolescents and the older adult, demonstrating its potential for application in specific social, cultural, and policy contexts analogous to the study setting.
