Understanding predictors of improvement in risky drinking in a U.S. multi-site, longitudinal cohort study of transgender individuals: Implications for culturally-tailored prevention and treatment efforts.

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
objectiveWhile transgender people report higher rates of risky drinking than the general population, no studies have examined transgender alcohol use longitudinally. This study investigated minority stress and identity development predictors of improvement in risky drinking among transgender individuals.
methodsData come from a multi-site, longitudinal cohort study of U.S. transgender individuals (N = 330) and include measures of enacted stigma, felt stigma, identity development, and risky alcohol use. Theory-driven, hierarchical multivariable logistic regression was used to investigate the hypothesis that minority stress and identity development factors are related to improvement in risky drinking between baseline and 1-year follow-up.
resultsBaseline risky drinkers (n = 106; 37.1%) were younger and more likely to have female sex assigned at birth. At 1-year follow-up, 68 baseline risky drinkers (64.2%) reported persistent risky drinking, while 38 (35.8%) reported improved drinking. Controlling for demographics and study site, female sex assigned at birth and enacted stigma were associated with lower odds of improved drinking. Non-white/Hispanic race/ethnicity, felt stigma, change in gender role/expression for 1-5 years, and diffuse-avoidant identity style were associated with higher odds of improvement. CONCLUSIONS/IMPORTANCE: This is the first study to identity predictors of improvement in risky drinking among transgender individuals. Compared to trans-feminine individuals (assigned male at birth), trans-masculine individuals (assigned female at birth) were more likely to report risky drinking at baseline and had lower odds of improvement at 1-year follow-up. Improved drinking may be facilitated by preventing anti-transgender discrimination. Felt stigma and diffuse-avoidant identity style may lower alcohol risk via avoidance of drinking venues. Further research is needed to explicate these relationships and to inform culturally-tailored alcohol interventions for this at-risk population.
