Positive youth development and mental health in Latine adolescents experiencing discrimination: A mixed-methods study.

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: The role of Positive Youth Development (PYD) and prosocial involvement in buffering the impact of racial-ethnic discrimination among Latine adolescents remains understudied. Objective: To examine whether PYD and community-level opportunities and rewards for prosocial involvement moderate the association between discrimination and depressive symptoms and suicidality in Latine adolescents through a mixed methods approach. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted among Latine adolescents (N = 110), assessing racial-ethnic discrimination (Everyday Discrimination Scale [EDS]), depressive symptoms and suicidality (Mood and Feelings Questionnaire [MFQ]), PYD (PYD Short Form), and community-level opportunities and rewards for prosocial involvement (Communities That Care scales). Linear and logistic regression models examined predictors of depressive symptoms and suicidality. Moderation was tested with interaction terms. Semi-structured interviews were completed with a nested sample of adolescents and caregivers (N = 18 dyads). A thematic analysis of interviews with a focus on the role of PYD was conducted. Results: EDS scores were associated with higher MFQ scores and suicidality. PYD factors and community-level opportunities and rewards for prosocial involvement were associated with lower MFQ scores and suicidality. These trends were generally consistent in adjusted regressions. None of the PYD factors, nor community-level opportunities and rewards for prosocial involvement, moderated these relationships. Qualitative findings identified youth-described processes consistent with PYD that appeared to support coping in the context of discrimination. Conclusions: PYD factors and community-level opportunities and rewards for prosocial involvement are associated with improved mental health among Latine adolescents but may not be sufficient to buffer the harmful effects of racial-ethnic discrimination.
