Writing Wrongs: Navigating Microaggressions with Adapted Expressive Writing for Minoritized College Students.
Article in Journal of racial and ethnic health disparities, 2026. 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
In addition to stressors inherent to higher education, microaggressions are pervasive and result in lasting negative repercussions for minoritized students at predominantly White institutions (PWIs). Expressive writing may be a scalable intervention fit for addressing these negative repercussions due to its established efficacy in improving symptoms related to general stressful life events. As expressive writing was not designed to address microaggressions, we utilized the ADAPT-ITT model to develop Writing Wrongs, a scalable intervention aimed at addressing microaggressions experienced by minoritized students at PWIs. The current study aimed to (a) assess attrition and pilot measures for future studies, (b) elicit impressions about Writing Wrongs' necessity, (c) elicit feedback regarding Writing Wrongs, and (d) identify recommended changes to the intervention. We conducted a theater test with both standardized expressive writing and adapted Writing Wrongs prompts in a sample of 18 predominantly female racial/ethnic minoritized college students enrolled at a PWI. Utilizing a mixed-methods design, we found full retention following the first pre-intervention session; adequate variability for most quantitative measures; and that participants broadly perceived Writing Wrongs to be helpful, appropriate, appealing, and necessary per quantitative and qualitative feedback. Additionally, participants expressed a preference for the Writing Wrongs prompt over the standardized prompt in qualitative and quantitative feedback. Participants provided additional recommendations for future modifications of the prompt and administration of Writing Wrongs. The results of the current study can inform the next phases of the ADAPT-ITT model, with the intent of creating a finalized adaptation of Writing Wrongs.
