Planned versus unplanned alcohol and cannabis use: Motivational and contextual correlates among sexual minority women and gender diverse individuals.
Article in Alcohol, clinical & experimental research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundUnplanned alcohol use has been theorized to contribute to experiencing more consequences at the daily level, and several risk factors have been identified in the general population. However, it remaines unclear whether these risk factors apply to sexual and gender minorities (SGM); if unique risk factors for substance use among SGM (e.g., microaggressions) are associated with elevated risk for unplanned alcohol or cannabis use; and if risk factors for unplanned drinking also apply to unplanned cannabis use.
methodsWe aimed to address these gaps by examining differences between planned and unplanned alcohol and cannabis use in motives, contexts of use, and SGM-specific factors at the daily level among 380 sexual minority women and gender diverse individuals assigned female at birth using daily diary data.
resultsAlthough unplanned alcohol and cannabis use were associated with lighter use, unplanned cannabis use was associated with more consequences. Social and enhancement motives and drinking with other SGM were linked to a lower likelihood of unplanned alcohol use, while conformity motives were associated with a higher likelihood of unplanned alcohol use. Microaggressions and coping motives were not associated with unplanned alcohol or cannabis use.
conclusionsResults demonstrated differences in motivational and contextual factors associated with unplanned alcohol compared to cannabis use and identified one SGM-specific correlate. Future research should continue to explore factors that contribute to unplanned cannabis use days being associated with more consequences even in the absence of heavier use on unplanned days.
