Professionals' perspectives on barriers to improving psychosocial care for adolescents with emotional and behavioural problems - a concept mapping case study.
Article in International journal of 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
Objectives: Rates of emotional and behavioural problems (EBP) in adolescence are high and rising, increasing pressure on psychosocial care systems. Professionals working in these systems have excellent insights in the measures needed. Of these, the most urgent and implementable ones have already been elucidated. Our current aim was to identify measures and interventions to improve psychosocial care for adolescents with EBP that professionals perceived as highly urgent but not yet feasible to implement, revealing potential barriers for implementation. Methods: We used Concept mapping, a participatory mixed-method approach, combining qualitative data collection with quantitative analysis. Overall, 33 professionals from 17 institutions participated. Results: Participants proposed 43 measures/interventions, that could be categorized in five clusters. Of these, 13 were identified as highly urgent but not feasible. Most belonged to clusters related to school system changes, improvement of transparency and functioning of the system of care, and legislative conditions for adolescents with EBP. Conclusion: Findings highlight implementation challenges related to school systems, workforce capacity, and system fragmentation. Addressing these challenges will require coordinated system-level approaches and long-term commitment to improve adolescent psychosocial care.
