The problem
Intervention: Presence of a trusted adult (naturally occurring relationship, not an intervention program)
Who it was tested with: 784 urban Indian adolescents aged 10-19 years, school-enrolled, surveyed during second wave of COVID-19 (May-October 2021).
Experience from people who deliver programmes: stories, case studies and lessons learned. Valuable for understanding how and why, and for spotting what to test next, but not a measure of effect.
"A cross-sectional online survey was conducted with 784 adolescents aged 10-19 years across urban India during the second wave of COVID-19 (May-October 2021). The survey assessed mental health, healthcare access, sources of health information, and the presence of trusted adults. Multivariable logistic regression models were used to examine associations." This design measures associations between variables at one point in time without a comparison group, making it a cross-sectional observational study that can identify correlations but not causality.
Cross-sectional design cannot establish causation. Sample limited to urban, school-enrolled adolescents. Self-reported data. Cannot determine direction of association (whether trusted adults lead to better outcomes or those with better outcomes are more likely to identify a trusted adult).
