Mental well-being among Syrian refugee workers in Lebanon: a multidimensional approach.
Article in Journal of global 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
Background: Displaced populations endure structural, psychological, and social vulnerabilities that impact their mental well-being. Lebanon's economic collapse, political instability, and inadequate infrastructure have exacerbated the hardships of its 1.5 million Syrian refugees. In this study, we applied the Six Dimensions of Wellness framework to explore the factors influencing the mental well-being of a sample of Syrian refugee workers in Lebanon. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional analysis on 89 Syrian refugee agricultural workers (42 men and 47 women) recruited from 32 greenhouse farms in Lebanon's Beqaa Valley. Participants completed structured questionnaires covering the Six Dimensions of Wellness. Mental well-being was assessed using the World Health Organization five well-being index, and scores below 13 indicated poor well-being. We used descriptive statistics and logistic regression to examine associations between wellness indicators and mental well-being. Results: We found that female workers, compared to male workers, reported a notably higher prevalence of poor mental well-being (40.4% vs. 23.89%). Participants who had experienced a work-related injury had nine times higher odds of poor mental well-being than those who had not (adjusted odds ratio (aOR) = 9.30; 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.64-52.79). Social support was protective of mental well-being (aOR = 0.52; 95% CI = 0.28-0.97), while having difficulty accessing health information (aOR = 6.09; 95% CI = 1.61-23.06) and unmanageable work demands (aOR = 10.09; 95% CI = 2.47-41.31) were significantly linked to poor mental well-being. Although protective against poor well-being, results for age and education were not statistically significant. Conclusions: This study highlights the complex and multidimensional nature of mental well-being among Syrian refugee agricultural workers. Work injuries, lack of access to health information, and high work demands increase the odds of poor mental well-being, while social support offers protection. Our findings inform interventions to improve mental well-being for displaced populations.
