Differences in barriers to specialty alcohol treatment between Latino and White adults with an alcohol use disorder.
Article in Drug and alcohol dependence, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundAmong individuals with an alcohol use disorder (AUD), little is known about why Latino adults are less likely to use formal alcohol treatment than their non-Hispanic White counterparts.
objectiveTo investigate Latino-White differences in barriers to specialty alcohol treatment, including sex differences by race/ethnicity.
methodsIn 2021, a national sample of 1200 Latino and White adults with AUD were recruited to complete a structured online questionnaire. Alcohol treatment barriers were assessed using the 36-item Barriers to Specialty Alcohol Treatment (BSAT) scale. Differences in barriers to specialty alcohol treatment between Latino and White participants were examined using multivariable regression models.
resultsLatino (vs. White) adults had greater odds of reporting that specialty alcohol treatment was not culturally accepted (AOR): 1.43; 95 % CI: 1.29-1.59), concerns that providers might not understand their cultural background (AOR: 1.45; 95 % CI: 1.32-1.61), and that providers would not be of the same racial/ethnic or cultural background as them (AOR: 1.58; 95 % CI: 1.42-1.76) as reasons for not using treatment. Further, Latino (vs. White) adults were more likely to endorse immigration-related barriers to treatment, including concerns about disclosing sensitive information, such as their immigration status (AOR: 1.34; 95 % CI: 1.21-1.48) or that using treatment would negatively affect their own immigration status (AOR: 1.35; 95 % CI: 1.21-1.48) or the immigration status of someone in their family (AOR: 1.36; 95 % CI: 1.23-1.50). No sex differences by race/ethnicity were documented.
conclusionCulturally tailoring existing alcohol treatment services that incorporate immigration-related concerns may be key for encouraging Latino adults to use formal alcohol treatment services.
