The Relationship Between Risk Factors and Alcohol and Marijuana Use Outcomes Among Concurrent Users: A Comprehensive Examination of Protective Behavioral Strategies.
Article in Journal of studies on alcohol and drugs, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 papers.
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
objectiveAmong college samples, both alcohol and marijuana protective behavioral strategies (PBS) have been shown to mediate the effects of known risk factors (i.e., sex, age at substance use onset, college substance use beliefs, substance use motives, and impulsivity-like traits) on alcohol and marijuana outcomes. However, it is unknown whether PBS use would operate similarly for both substances among concurrent users. The present study examined which risk factors relate to alcohol/marijuana outcomes via alcohol/marijuana PBS use among a large group of concurrent alcohol/marijuana users.
methodParticipants were college students who consumed both alcohol and marijuana at least 1 day in the previous month (n = 2,034; 69.08% female).
resultsAcross both substances, PBS use significantly mediated the effects of sex (women reported higher PBS use), age at first use (having an older age at first use was associated with more PBS use), and college substance use beliefs (higher beliefs was associated with lower PBS use). Unique to alcohol outcomes, alcohol PBS use significantly mediated the effects of negative urgency, social motives, and enhancement motives (all associated with lower PBS use). Unique to marijuana outcomes, marijuana PBS use mediated the effects of coping, expansion (both associated with lower PBS use), and conformity motives (associated with more PBS use).
conclusionsOur results suggest that PBS for both alcohol and marijuana can help explain why some risk factors are associated with alcohol/marijuana outcomes. Taken together, PBS use seems to be an important intervention target for alcohol/marijuana concurrent users.
