Beyond risk: resilience portfolios and youth mental health.
Article in BMC 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
backgroundGiven concerns about the mental health of young people, there has been a growing body of research aimed at understanding strengths, resilience, and protective factors. The current study utilizes latent profile analysis to examine different combinations of strengths. Group differences on demographics, social determinants of health (SDoH), and mental health indices are examined across the identified latent classes.
methodsProject Lift Up is a longitudinal, national study of youth and young adults designed to understand bystander behaviors for self-directed violence. 4,981 adolescents and young adults aged 13-22 years were recruited online between June 13, 2022 - October 30, 2023. Three additional waves of data were collected, approximately 6 months apart: Wave 2 (collected between January 13, 2023 - February 26, 2024); Wave 3 (June 13, 2023 - November 19, 2024); and Wave 4 (December 15, 2023 - May 8, 2025). The qualifying longitudinal cohort, defined as completing baseline and either the 6- or 12-month surveys, was 3,360. A total of 2,049 participants completed all four survey waves and are the analytic sample for the current paper (61% of the qualifying cohort).
resultsLatent profile analysis identified seven strength profiles: Despondent (5.5%), Isolated (14.2%), Pessimistic (14.3%), Support-Focused (26.8%), Self-Reliant (8.9%), Multi-faceted Strengths (23.8%), and Resilient Activists (6.3%). Profiles differed in both overall strength levels and configurations across regulatory, interpersonal, meaning making, and environmental domains. Depressive symptoms and self-directed violence were highest in the Despondent and Pessimistic profiles and lowest in the Self-Reliant and Multi-faceted Strengths profiles, with Resilient Activists showing intermediate risk. Despite high strengths, Resilient Activists experienced uniquely elevated SDoH adversity, including discrimination, food insecurity, and structural hardship. In contrast, Self-Reliant and Multi-faceted Strengths profiles showed the lowest SDoH risk across domains. Females, sexual-minority, and gender-minority participants were overrepresented in profiles with poorer mental health and greater adversity and underrepresented in the most robust strength profiles.
conclusionPractitioners should incorporate assessment of strengths portfolios when working with young people. Programs to prevent mental health problems, including suicide and self-injury, should include specific strengths-based components across the four domains of the Resilience Portfolio Model - regulatory, interpersonal, meaning making and environmental.
