Changes in perceived harms of tobacco and cannabis and their correlations with use: A panel study of young adults 2014-2020.
Article in Addictive behaviors, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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
purposePerceived harm is associated with substance use. Changes in product and policy landscapes may impact perceived harms of tobacco and cannabis. This study aimed to examine changes in young adults' perceived harms of tobacco and cannabis and their associations with use behavior during a period including both before and after legalization of cannabis.
methodsWe conducted a panel survey of California Bay Area young adults (mean age = 23.5 years old, 64.4% female) in 2014 and 2019-2020. Participants (N = 306) reported past 30-day use and perceived harms of tobacco and cannabis at both waves. Perceived harms to health of cannabis and tobacco (cigarettes, e-cigarettes, hookah, smokeless tobacco, and secondhand tobacco smoke) were measured from 1-"Not at all harmful" to 7-"Extremely harmful." Mixed-effects logistic regressions examined associations between perceived harms and use of tobacco and cannabis, controlling for demographics.
resultsParticipants perceived lower harm for cannabis than for tobacco products. Perceived harms of e-cigarettes, hookah, and smokeless tobacco significantly increased over time; while perceived harms of cigarettes, secondhand tobacco smoke, and cannabis did not change. Increased perceived harm of e-cigarettes was associated with lower odds of any tobacco use (OR = 0.72, 95%CI = 0.56, 0.92), and increased perceived harm of cannabis was associated with lower odds of any cannabis use (OR = 0.51, 95%CI = 0.42, 0.62).
conclusionsFindings suggest that perceived harms of e-cigarettes and cannabis play important roles in driving young adult use behaviors. Risk communication efforts that increase perceptions of health harms related to e-cigarettes and cannabis may decrease use of tobacco and cannabis among young people.
