Examining the American mindset on community well-being: insights from a national survey.
Article in BMC public health, 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
backgroundThe United States is experiencing a crisis of well-being, characterized by increasing social isolation, hopelessness, and diseases of despair. Traditional well-being measures have focused on individuals, often overlooking community dimensions that are critical for understanding and addressing broader societal challenges. This study primarily aims to identify the factors most strongly associated with perceptions of community well-being.
methodsWe analyzed data from the nationally representative 2023 National Survey of Health Attitudes (NSHA; N = 5,620). Logistic regression models were used to examine associations between well-being measures and demographic characteristics and factors related to community conditions and connections.
resultsPerceptions of overall community well-being varied by income, age, education, and race/ethnicity. Individual well-being was not significantly associated with perceptions of community well-being. Among community conditions, access to outdoor spaces (OR = 2.50), healthy food (OR = 1.67), and health care (OR = 1.39), and safe drinking water (OR = 1.24) were significantly linked to higher community well-being ratings, while transportation infrastructure was negatively associated (OR = 0.77). For community connections, trust among members (OR = 2.08), mutual support (OR = 1.74), and collaboration for health (OR = 1.32) also showed significant associations. These results suggest the importance of both physical resources and social infrastructure for community well-being.
conclusionMultidimensional measures of both individual and community well-being can help local leaders and policymakers monitor well-being, set priorities, and design interventions.
