Using actor-partner interdependence modeling to understand recent illicit opioid use and injection drug use among men in community supervision and their female partners in New York City.

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
backgroundThe United States' opioid crisis disproportionately affects individuals in the criminal justice system. Intimate partners can be a source of social support that helps reduce substance use, or they can serve as a driver of continued or increased substance use. Better understanding of the association between intimate partner characteristics and illicit opioid use and injection drug use among individuals in community supervision could be vital to developing targeted interventions.
methodsUsing actor-partner interdependence models, we examined individual and partner characteristics associated with recent illicit opioid use and injection drug use among males in community supervision settings in New York City (n = 229) and their female partners (n = 229).
resultsHigher levels of depression (aOR 1.98, 95% CI [1.39-2.82], p ≤ 0.01) and anxiety (aOR 1.98, 95% CI [1.42-2.75], p ≤ 0.01) were associated with recent opioid use among males in community supervision. Females with a partner having higher levels of anxiety were more likely to have recently used opioids (aOR 1.52, 95% CI [1.06-2.16], p ≤ 0.05). Males with a female partner with higher levels of anxiety (aOR 2.16, 95% CI [1.31-3.56], p ≤ 0.01) or depression (aOR 1.70, 95% CI [1.01-2.86], p ≤ 0.05) were more likely to recently inject drugs. Women with a male partner who had been in prison were more likely to have recently injected drugs (aOR 3.71, 95% CI [1.14-12.12], p ≤ 0.05), but women who had a male partner who had been arrested in the past three months were less likely to have recently injected (aOR 0.08, 95% CI [0.02-0.46], p ≤ 0.01).
conclusionsResults suggest that recent individual illicit opioid use and injection drug use is associated not only with individual-level factors, but also with partner factors, highlighting the need for couple-based approaches to address the opioid epidemic.
