Co-occurring psychological distress and alcohol or other drug use among Indigenous Australians: Data from the National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Survey.
Article in The Australian and New Zealand journal of psychiatry, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectivesTo determine the prevalence and demographic, social and health characteristics associated with co-occurring psychological distress symptoms, risky alcohol and/or substance use among a national sample of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people aged 15 years or older.
methodsThis study uses secondary cross-sectional data from the 2018-19 National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Survey (NATSIHS). Data were collected via face-to-face interviews with those living in private dwellings across Australia. Participants were Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people (
resultsA total of 20.3% participants were found to have co-occurring psychological distress, risky alcohol use and/or substance use, and 4.0% reported co-occurrence of all three conditions. Female participants in a registered marriage and fully engaged in study or employment had lower rates of co-occurring conditions. Poorer self-rated health, one or more chronic conditions and increased experiences of unfair treatment and physical harm in the past 12 months were associated with increased rates of co-occurring conditions.
conclusionA range of potential risk and protective factors were identified for co-occurring psychological distress, risky alcohol and/or substance use among Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. This information is critical for planning effective holistic strategies to decrease the burden of suffering imposed upon the individual, family and community members impacted by co-occurring conditions.
