Modeling Adolescent Disposition Development: Age-Related Changes in Psychosocial Processes Correlated with Substance Use.

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
purposeA model is proposed in which longitudinal changes in adolescents' dispositions increase age-related risk for the onset of substance use.
methodPooled surveys from 25 longitudinal studies were examined. Disposition was calculated from eight variables: use intentions; refusal intentions; attitudes; positive consequence beliefs; beliefs about negative consequences; descriptive peer normative beliefs; injunctive peer normative beliefs; and lifestyle incongruence. Substance use onset (past 30-day alcohol, cigarette, and marijuana use) was analyzed using participants' just prior dispositional status and recent changes in their dispositions.
resultsDisposition was highly correlated with each of the measured variables. The pattern of disposition changes as adolescents grow older, revealing that younger adolescents have more positive dispositions; whereas when they grew older, negative dispositions gradually emerged among a subset of adolescents. Analyses also revealed that dispositional status and recent changes in their dispositions were strong predictors of substance use onset. IMPLICATIONS: Better understanding the development of dispositions will aid in designing effective interventions. Subordinate variables are amenable to intervention and are recommended as the primary focus of prevention programming. Because of the developmental trajectory of dispositions, multi-year interventions are highly recommended. Whenever possible, tailored approaches that take adolescents' pre-intervention dispositions into account should be considered.
