Adolescents' experiences with substance use: risks, protective factors and interventions.
Article in BMC psychology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
backgroundThis study aimed to explore adolescents' experiences with substance use and to identify risk, preventive, and protective factors, as well as the intervention processes from their perspective.
methodsAdopting a phenomenological qualitative approach, in-depth semi-structured interviews were conducted with 21 adolescents (ages 14-18) who had been using substances (excluding cigarettes and alcohol) for over one year. Participants were selected using criterion and snowball sampling methods. The data were analyzed through thematic analysis.
resultsAnalysis revealed four main themes and twelve sub-themes: Risk Factors (including peer influence, family dysfunction, and trauma/psychosocial adversity). Preventive Factors (such as adolescent awareness, family recognition, and school-based teacher leadership). Protective Factors (including social skills, intrinsic/extrinsic motivation, and positive family interaction). Interventions (involving parent education, psychosocial interventions, and psychotherapies). FINDING: Findings indicated that adolescents' substance use is influenced by complex individual, familial, and environmental interactions. Moreover, the results highlight that both international literature and literature from Turkey converge in showing the negative biopsychosocial impacts of substance use among youth.
conclusionThe study underscores the multifaceted nature of substance use among adolescents, pointing to the importance of developing culturally informed, multi-level interventions that target risk, reinforce protective mechanisms, and enhance access to treatment.
