A social-contextual analysis of African American adolescents' coping self-efficacy.

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
Coping self-efficacy is linked to adaptive coping skills and improved psychological well-being, yet few studies have examined coping self-efficacy in African American adolescents. This study examined change over time in African American adolescents' coping self-efficacy and the extent to which social-contextual factors (maternal warmth and community violence exposure) and gender are associated with coping self-efficacy. Participants were 160 African American adolescents who resided in a large Midwestern city. Ninth-grade adolescents were followed through 10th grade and reported on coping self-efficacy, maternal warmth, and community violence exposure at four 6-month time intervals. Latent growth modeling was used to examine change over time in coping self-efficacy, along with the effects of social-contextual factors and gender on coping self-efficacy. Latent growth modeling results suggest that, on average, coping self-efficacy linearly declined over the course of ninth and 10th grade. Maternal warmth was associated with higher coping self-efficacy over time, whereas community violence exposure was not associated with coping self-efficacy. Girls reported a lower initial level of coping self-efficacy than boys at the start of ninth grade, but there was no difference in the slope (rate of change) of coping self-efficacy between girls and boys. Implications of study results for research and school based, culturally and contextually relevant coping skills intervention for African American adolescents are discussed. Study limitations and future directions are also described. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2026 APA, all rights reserved).
