Impact of co-created mental health and life-skill workshops with 12-to-16-year-olds from black and mixed ethnic groups during COVID-19 in the UK: a qualitative study.
Article in BMJ open, 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
backgroundThe COVID-19 pandemic has disproportionately impacted the mental health of young people from minority ethnic communities, yet effective interventions such as mental health psychoeducational workshops, shown to work for other populations, have rarely been offered or investigated among this population.
objectivesThis qualitative study examines the impact, challenges and benefits of mental health psychoeducational workshops co-created with and for 12-to-16-year-olds from black and mixed ethnic minority groups in London, UK.
methods12 (8 female: 3 male) black and mixed ethnic minority 12-to-16-year-olds (
findingsInterpretative Phenomenological Analysis of the interviews revealed three superordinate themes, with a total of eight codes clustered: (1) workshop features promoting positive mental health, (2) positive mental health outcomes and (3) workshop features impeding positive mental health outcomes. Overall, young people perceived workshops to have a positive impact on their mental health and helped provide support in coping with the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic.
conclusionsStudy findings highlight the potential benefits and barriers to entry of mental health and life-skill workshops for young people from minority ethnic communities. CLINICAL APPLICATIONS: Community-based and co-produced workshops were perceived as beneficial to mental health by Black, Asian, Minority Ethnic young people, warranting greater consideration and implementation in practice.
