Self-Reported Substance Use With Clinician Interviewers Versus Self-Administered Surveys.
Article in Journal of studies on alcohol and drugs, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
objectiveUnderreporting of substance use is a frequent concern about studies based on self-report, but few robust studies have examined the agreement between different methods for capturing self-reported substance use. The current study therefore used repeated measures to compare self-reported substance use using (a) clinician interviewers and (b) self-administered computerized surveys in a sample that included both inpatients and community residents.
methodAdults age 18 years and older with problematic substance use were recruited from the community or an inpatient addiction treatment facility. At baseline (
resultsThere was moderate-to-strong agreement between clinician-administered and self-administered surveys for alcohol (kappa = .70-.88), cannabis (kappa = .87-.92), cocaine (kappa = .81-.89), and heroin (kappa = .90-.92). However, there was only weak-to-moderate agreement for nonmedical use of prescription painkillers (kappa = .55-.71), with the self-administered questionnaire capturing a higher prevalence of use (percent difference = 2.4%).
conclusionsClinician interviewers and self-administered surveys were shown to capture similar rates of self-reported use of alcohol, cannabis, cocaine, and heroin. Surveys assessing nonmedical prescription opioid use may benefit from using self-administered questionnaires.
