Parental support in adolescence: A potential moderator of the relationship between racial discrimination and adult suicidality.
Article in Public health, 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
objectivesIt is critical to understand supportive factors that may help mitigate the negative effects of racial discrimination on mental health. Supportive family environments positively impact adolescent health, yet less is known about the impact of family support on adult health outcomes as a consequence of experiences of racial discrimination. The primary objective of this study was to evaluate parental support in adolescence as a potential moderator of the relationship between racial discrimination and mental health, specifically stress and suicidality, in adulthood. STUDY
designSecondary data analysis.
methodsWe performed a secondary data analysis using data from waves I (grades 7-12), IV (ages 24-32), and V (ages 32-42) of the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health (N = 1523).
resultsUnivariate logistic regression models showed that racial discrimination was significantly associated with an increased likelihood of suicidality in adulthood (Odds Ratio = 12.94, 95 % Confidence Interval = [4.69, 35.73]). Multivariate models showed similar findings. Racial discrimination was also significantly associated with increased stress scores in adulthood, though with a small effect. Maternal, paternal, and overall parental support in adolescence did not moderate these relationships. This remained true in racial and ethnic subgroup analyses.
conclusionsParental support includes a variety of behaviors that may not have been fully captured in the measures used in this study. Potential moderating effects should be evaluated using alternative measures of parental support that may better capture these behaviors.
