'It is just a prediction; it's, like, not fact': youth attitudes towards risk prediction tools and personalised preventive interventions for depression and anxiety.
Article in BMJ mental 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
backgroundRisk prediction tools may help identify youth who are at risk of developing depression or anxiety and allow personalised preventive interventions to be delivered. However, with concerns for implementation, it is important to directly engage with youth to understand their attitudes.
objectiveTo qualitatively explore UK-based youth attitudes towards risk prediction tools and personalised preventive interventions for depression and anxiety.
methodsOnline semistructured interviews were conducted with a convenience sample of youth aged 16-25 years (n=25) and analysed using reflexive thematic analysis.
findingsAnalysis generated four themes: (1)
conclusionsWhile youth appear open to risk prediction tools and personalised preventive interventions, they highlighted concerns that must be addressed before implementation, including ethics, accuracy, privacy and feasibility. CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: Going forward, researchers should prioritise stakeholder involvement, using active collaboration to identify ways in which these concerns can be addressed, which may increase acceptability and uptake. Human contact, alongside agency and choice, are further factors to consider.
