Promoting good and equal health by advancing vulnerable students' employment and income opportunities: Protocol for a multiple method research program leveraging student and school staff perspectives.
Article in PloS one, 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
School-level social determinants of health (SDOH) account for a large share of variation in students' health behaviors. Because educational attainment is itself a key social determinant of health-shaping later employment, income, and health-efforts to promote equitable health must include understanding and improving school climate as a mechanism influencing academic achievement and wellbeing. This project examines how school-level SDOH develop and how they relate to later employment, income, and health outcomes in a representative sample of Swedish young people. It also investigates how school staff and students perceive the school's ability to address school-level SDOH and develops and pilots an intervention aimed at strengthening these determinants. This multi-method, multi-informant study uses a large longitudinal dataset following a representative cohort from ages 12-20. Additional primary data will be collected from school staff and students to assess perceptions of school-level SDOH. The project will also design and test an intervention intended to improve students' academic achievement, a central pathway influencing later employment, income, and health. Combining longitudinal data with new qualitative and quantitative materials allows the project to examine the development of school-level SDOH and the mechanisms through which they shape long-term outcomes. Education is essential for strengthening skills, economic opportunities, and health equity. Strong links exist between education level, employment, income, and health, making this project relevant for students, families, school personnel, and broader policy development. Findings may guide schools and policymakers in improving school environments to support achievement and long-term health equity. The project involves extensive data collection and collaboration across disciplines and universities. By integrating multiple methods, it aims to advance knowledge on how education influences employment, income, and health while informing school-level and policy-level strategies to support academic achievement and wellbeing.
