Associations between neighborhood disorder and mental health service utilization in the
Article in Discover public 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: Neighborhood environment is critically important in shaping mental health outcomes. Among those with a history of diagnoses of anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) the likelihood of ongoing visits and current medication/treatment can be influenced by social and physical neighborhood-related risk factors. Despite growing evidence, only a few large-scale studies have examined these associations. Using data from the Methods: The present study analyzed the Results: Greater neighborhood disorder was linked to higher odds of ongoing mental health care (OR 1.18; 95% CI 1.12-1.24) and current medication or treatment (OR 1.13; 95% CI 1.07-1.18). Mental health care engagement declined with increasing age, with participants above 75 years being significantly less likely to receive care (OR 0.14; 95% CI 0.12-0.16) and treatment (OR 0.19; 95% CI 0.16-0.21) when compared to those 18-44 years of age. Cisgender men had lower odds of care (OR 0.57; 95% CI 0.54-0.61) and treatment (OR 0.54; 95% CI 0.51-0.57) compared to cisgender women, while non-cisgender participants showed significantly higher odds of both. Non-Hispanic White participants were more likely to receive care (OR 2.08; 95% CI 1.91-2.27) and treatment (OR 2.21; 95% CI 2.03-2.42) when compared with Hispanic/Latino participants. Conclusion: Findings underscore the importance of neighborhood conditions in receiving mental health care. These results emphasize the need for targeted public health interventions addressing structural determinants of mental health care utilization.
