Exploring an Allied Health Student Placement Model in Rural Aged-Care Settings: A UDRH Collaborative Evaluation Using RE-AIM.

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
objectiveTo evaluate the expansion of the Rural Health Multidisciplinary Training (RHMT) program into aged care services across rural Victoria. The program was designed to address workforce shortages and enhance allied health service delivery in Residential Aged Care Homes (RACHs).
settingThe evaluation was set in aged care services in rural Victoria, Australia, specifically within RACHs partnered with four Victorian University Departments of Rural Health.
participantsParticipants were allied health students undertaking placements in a service-learning model, aged care pro\viders and university staff involved in program implementation and evaluation.
designThrough a collaboration between La Trobe University's John Richards Centre for Rural Ageing Research, the University of Melbourne's Department of Rural Health, Monash Rural Health, and two rural aged care providers, the evaluation employed a case study approach utilising the RE-AIM framework. Data sources included student focus groups and surveys, and stakeholder interviews and focus groups. The RE-AIM framework guided the data analysis.
resultsThe program positively influenced student attitudes towards aged care, addressed resident needs through increased access to allied health services, and supported rural workforce development. Students reported meaningful engagement with older adults, which influenced perceptions and fostered interest in aged care careers. Despite challenges such as student financial burden and supervision limitations, the model demonstrated value for students and residents.
conclusionThe evaluation highlighted how placements provided allied health students with meaningful connections with older people, influenced attitudes and prompted them to consider aged care careers-an outcome that has significant implications for future workforce planning.
