Replication RCT of early universal prevention effects on young adult substance misuse.
Trial report in Journal of consulting and clinical psychology, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 21 papers, 3 of them syntheses that pooled it.
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
objectiveFor many substances, more frequent and problematic use occurs in young adulthood; these types of use are predicted by the timing of initiation during adolescence. We replicated and extended an earlier study examining whether delayed substance initiation during adolescence, resulting from universal preventive interventions implemented in middle school, reduces problematic use in young adulthood.
methodParticipants were middle school students from 36 Iowa schools randomly assigned to the Strengthening Families Program: For Parents and Youth 10-14 (Molgaard, Spoth, & Redmond, 2000) plus Life Skills Training (LST; Botvin, 1995, 2000), LST-only, or a control condition. Self-report questionnaires were collected at 11 time points, including 4 during young adulthood. The intercept (average level) and rate of change (slope) in young adult frequency measures (drunkenness, alcohol-related problems, cigarettes, and illicit drugs) across ages 19-22 were modeled as outcomes influenced by growth factors describing substance initiation during adolescence. Analyses entailed testing a 2-step hierarchical latent growth curve model; models included the effects of baseline risk, intervention condition assignment, and their interaction.
resultsAnalyses showed significant indirect intervention effects on the average levels of all young adult outcomes, through effects on adolescent substance initiation growth factors, along with Intervention × Risk interaction effects favoring the higher risk subsample. Additional direct effects on young adult use were observed in some cases. Relative reduction rates were larger for the higher risk subsample at age 22, ranging from 5.8% to 36.4% on outcomes showing significant intervention effects.
conclusionsUniversal preventive interventions implemented during early adolescence have the potential to decrease the rates of substance use and associated problems into young adulthood.
