Co-Design With Mothers and Professionals to Enhance Care for Mothers Experiencing Adversity: Development of the METIC Model.
Article in Health expectations : an international journal of public participation in health care and health policy, 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
introductionCo-design is increasingly used to partner with key stakeholders to facilitate user-driven improvements to health and social care services. Successful co-design relies upon stakeholder partnerships that promote empowerment and value diverse perspectives-which can be challenging when stakeholders are from diverse or marginalised backgrounds. Within this context, our research aimed to co-design a research and translation action plan to enhance non-stigmatising care for mothers experiencing adversities during pregnancy or their children's early years.
methodsTheoretical frameworks (social constructionism, knowledge translation and experience based co-design) and local guidelines (ethical and consumer participation) informed successful co-design with stakeholder groups with power differentials and experiences of marginalisation. We developed the novel MEdiated Trauma-Informed Co-design (METIC) model remain sensitive to power differentials and experiences of trauma by embedding trauma-informed approaches.
resultsWe engaged two stakeholder groups (professionals and service users) to promote equity and enable safe spaces for discussions using the METIC approach. The METIC approach includes five steps: (1) building relationships and triangulating evidence, (2) recruitment and data collection, (3) data analysis and feedback, (4) sharing outcomes and (5) ongoing engagement. Key learnings included the importance of taking time to build trusting relationships and using communication strategies tailored to diverse audiences, such as easy-read visual summaries.
conclusionsSuccess was demonstrated through the co-design of an accessible research and translation action plan, which received overwhelmingly positive participant feedback. Key methodological challenges for future consideration include how researchers should respond to broader and systemic factors that impact equitable engagement in co-design.
