Identifying salient behavioral health access and social determinant of health factors among a Latino population with uncontrolled diabetes living on the U.S.-Mexico border.
Article in Frontiers in 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: Valid measures of behavioral health access and social determinants of health (SDOH) can inform health promotion, programming, and strategies to address identified gaps. Existing SDOH screening tools and domains were not developed using data from low-income Latino populations or community-based interventions, which may limit their relevance for these purposes. Aim/Objectives: This study sought to identify salient constructs of behavioral health and SDOH based on factor analysis among a low-income, underinsured Latino population with type 2 diabetes. Methodology: We gathered data from 6,735 Latino participants from two Texas-Mexico border counties enrolled in a multi-year diabetes management intervention to evaluate associations between observed behavioral health access and SDOH variables. We characterized common themes using factor analysis. Results: We found one independent summary factor related to behavioral health access and four factors related to SDOH: 1. Insurance and health care barriers; 2. Major stress from lack of medical provider and resources; 3. Urgent financial or social hardship; and 4. Transportation barriers. Conclusion: The results inform a set of measures across multiple domains unburdened with multicollinearity and aligned with previous research on SDOH. The findings provide deep insight for strategies to address SDOH gaps using measures tailored to specific populations in clinical and community settings. Use of these measures could help better identify and intervene on the unmet needs that negatively impact health outcomes.
