Ethnic Discrimination's Role on Increased Substance Susceptibility and Use Among U.S. Youth.
Article in American journal of preventive medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
introductionRecently, U.S. youth of color reported greater use of alcohol, tobacco, and cannabis than White youth. Increased levels of discrimination in recent years may have added to the chronic burden associated with increased use among youth of color. Little is known about this relationship, especially among youth who initiate substance use earlier in adolescence. This study assessed the prevalence of substance susceptibility (willingness and curiosity) and use (alcohol, tobacco, and cannabis) among youth by race/ethnicity and ethnic discrimination's role in this relationship.
methodsData from the national panel of 11,868 U.S. youth in the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development study (baseline through fourth year follow-up; 2016-2022), which assessed these relationships beginning at ages 9-10 years, were analyzed in 2024-2025. Prevalence of lifetime substance susceptibility and use were quantified by race/ethnicity. Multivariable longitudinal analyses tested whether discrimination was connected to substance susceptibility and lifetime use and whether that relationship differed by race/ethnicity.
resultsBlack youth reported lower lifetime alcohol and tobacco use, lower curiosity toward alcohol and tobacco, and higher willingness to try alcohol than White youth. Hispanic youth reported higher willingness to try alcohol. Asian youth reported lower lifetime tobacco use. Higher levels of ethnic discrimination were consistently associated with greater odds of susceptibility and use among all racial/ethnic groups in this study.
conclusionsResults show that youth of color report lower substance use; however, ethnic discrimination may account for some of the recent increased national trends in substance use among youth of color through its impact on their increased susceptibility to use substances.
