ArticleData in brief2026
A dataset on adolescent mental health in Kenya.
Article in Data in brief, 2026. 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
Despite the growing recognition of the mental health crisis among adolescents in low-and middle-income countries (LMICs), there remains insufficient reliable data on youth mental health challenges in Kenya and other LMICs. This dataset presents one of the most comprehensive mental health data from N=17,089 adolescents collected in 2023 across sixty-three public secondary schools in four counties in Kenya. Data were collected through self-report paper-based questionnaires and include depression and anxiety symptoms as well as twelve other psychosocial measures capturing adverse childhood experiences, digital stressors, family and emerging stressors, and help-seeking behaviours. Additionally, the dataset includes comprehensive socio-demographic data. The dataset addresses a significant gap in contextually representative data on adolescent mental health as well as possible protective and risk factors and provides useful insights in the experience of depression and anxiety among Kenyan adolescents. The dataset supports psychometric validation of widely used mental health instruments in sub-Saharan African contexts and offers valuable resources for researchers, practitioners, and policymakers working on adolescent mental health interventions and policy development.
