Unpacking disparities in substance-related outcomes among racial, ethnic, sexual, and gender minoritized groups during adolescence and emerging adulthood.
Review in Psychology of addictive behaviors : journal of the Society of Psychologists in Addictive Behaviors, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
objectiveAlcohol and other drug (AOD) use increases substantially from adolescence to emerging adulthood, and recent longitudinal studies show disparities in AOD-related outcomes by racial and ethnic, as well as sexual and gender minority (SGM), identities. Greater insight is needed into how individual, social, and environmental contexts interact and affect such disparities, as well as why disparate outcomes are found across different domains (e.g., social, educational, economic), even after accounting for intensity of use. This commentary addresses these important and timely issues.
methodWe provide a brief overview of the literature, including our own team's work over the last 14 years, to identify and understand disparities in AOD-related outcomes during adolescence and emerging adulthood across individuals with different racial and ethnic, and sexual and gender, identities. We then discuss paths forward to advance research and build a stronger evidence base, leading to the development and identification of effective interventions that can help mitigate disparities among historically marginalized adolescents and emerging adults.
resultsExisting research highlights the need for further longitudinal work in several areas, including addressing contextual factors at various levels (e.g., individual, social, environmental) that may contribute to outcomes for different groups of individuals, developing and testing culturally appropriate AOD-related services, giving greater consideration to intersectionality of multiple minority identities, and using novel statistical approaches to help improve the estimation of differences across smaller subgroups of individuals in existing cohorts.
conclusionsTo inform prevention programming and policy for improving health and well-being of historically marginalized populations, it is important to continue our efforts to understand disparities in AOD-related outcomes using multidisciplinary, equity, and intersectionality lenses.
