Youth Participation, Agency and Well-Being in Hospital-Linked Contexts: Evidence From the KIDS Programme.
Article in Child: care, health and development, 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
objectiveYouth participation is increasingly recognised as a key determinant of adolescent well-being, yet empirical evidence from hospital-linked healthcare contexts remains limited. This study examines how participation in the international KIDS programme within the iCAN network relates to adolescents' participation-linked emotional and academic well-being. MATERIALS AND
methodsA mixed-methods descriptive and correlational design was employed. Data were collected from 50 adolescents across multiple countries who completed an adapted version of the Tiffany-Eckenrode Program Participation Scale (TEPPS) and open-ended questions. Quantitative analyses included descriptive statistics, reliability testing, exploratory factor analysis, cluster analysis and regression modelling, complemented by thematic analysis of qualitative responses.
resultsThe adapted TEPPS demonstrated strong internal reliability (α = 0.88). Voice and influence together with relational support emerged as the participatory conditions most strongly associated with well-being outcomes. Cluster analysis identified four experiential participation profiles, including a highly transformative group characterised by strong agency and elevated well-being.
conclusionMeaningful participation in hospital-linked youth programmes may contribute to adolescents' perceived well-being by fostering agency, recognition and supportive relational environments. Embedding structured youth participation within healthcare systems may therefore support more responsive and humanised approaches to adolescent care.
