Rural and Non-Rural Pediatric Health Care Providers' Youth Suicide Prevention Beliefs, Attitudes, Training, and Practices.
Article in Evidence-based practice in child and adolescent mental 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: A substantial number of youth experience suicidal thoughts and behaviors, and those living in rural areas are at even greater risk. Pediatric health care providers tend to be the first point of contact for youth at risk for suicide. Thus, there is a need to understand rural and non-rural providers' beliefs, training, and practices in youth suicide prevention. Objective: We examined providers' beliefs, previous training, and current practices in youth suicide prevention, with attention to potential differences across providers working in rural and non-rural areas. Method: Participants were 171 pediatric health care providers in Texas, working in primary care or pediatric settings, who completed an online survey. Results: Overall, 70% of participants reported having never participated in suicide risk assessment/intervention training for youth patients, with no significant difference between rural and non-rural providers. Nearly all providers expressed an interest in additional training, with many reporting a willingness to engage in a virtual training. Rural and non-rural providers were not significantly different in their self-reported knowledge and skills related to suicide risk assessment/intervention. However, providers' responses differed in confidence ratings; that is, non-rural providers' ratings of their confidence in conducting youth suicide risk assessment/intervention were higher compared to rural providers. Conclusions: Our findings highlight a clear gap between pediatric health care providers' previous training and current responsibilities in treating child and adolescent patients experiencing suicidal ideation and behavior. Implications and future directions are discussed.
