Digital Alcohol and Cannabis Ads, Consumption Frequency, and Driving Under the Influence.

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
objectiveLittle is known about the consequences of substance-related advertising on driving under the influence of alcohol (DUIA) or cannabis (DUIC). This study seeks to estimate associations between substance-related digital advertising exposures and DUIA and DUIC in a sample of young adults.
methodThe Rhode Island Young Adult Survey 2022 was a cross-sectional web-based survey of 1,022 adults ages 18-25 years. Analyses were conducted among lifetime alcohol users (
resultsIn all, 54.4% of participants reported past-30-day exposure to digital alcohol advertising, and 33.5% reported exposure to digital cannabis advertising. Exposure to social media alcohol advertising was associated with higher odds of DUIA after adjustment for sociodemographic variables (odds ratio [95% CI] = 2.14 [1.07, 4.28]) but not after accounting for frequency of use. Odds of DUIC remained significantly higher for those exposed to app-based cannabis advertising after adjusting for sociodemographic variables (odds ratio [95% CI] = 4.36 [1.76, 10.8]) and frequency of use (odds ratio [95% CI] = 3.96 [1.53, 10.2]).
conclusionsSince social media alcohol ad exposure may be indirectly linked with DUIA, and app-based cannabis ad exposure may be directly linked to frequency of use and DUIC, legislators should consider comprehensive substance-related ad regulations and bans.
