The "Listen In" Approach: A Novel Early-Phase Method to Inform Intervention Adaptation.
Article in International journal of behavioral medicine, 2025. 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
backgroundAdaptations of behavioral interventions can optimize the health impact for minoritized groups, including racial and ethnic minorities. While cultural adaptation frameworks exist, there is no singular approach to identifying the contexts that likely matter during early-phase intervention development, outside of those exclusive to a cultural frame. We developed the "Listen In" approach to address this gap; "Listen In" involves a series of steps, resulting in two levels of analysis, that increase an understanding of the target population and inform intervention adaptation.
methodsWe applied "Listen In" to explore how context interfaced with core intervention targets of Goal-focused Emotion-regulation Therapy (developed for young adult testicular cancer survivors) among Latino participants.
resultsThirty-six hours of audio-recorded intervention sessions from a pilot trial across nine participants (all Latino, aged 20-33) were analyzed. Latino cultural values were found to be an important context for goal navigation processes directly and indirectly. For example, participants described family as being an important value and identified family as having an impact on goal achievement. Recommendations for intervention adaptation, then, included offering the opportunity to invite family into conversations around goal navigation.
conclusionsAn integration of the cultural context, facilitated by using the "Listen In" approach, enhanced our understanding of how GET can be adapted for young Latino survivors in the present study. "Listen In" may be a valuable approach to highlighting nuanced contexts in which intervention mechanisms are enacted. Future researchers may apply this method to help inform early-phase evidence-based intervention adaptations.
