Racially-motivated discrimination distress and tobacco use outcomes among adolescents in the United States.

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
introductionRacism and discrimination are a public health problem. This study aims to examine the association of racially-motivated discrimination distress using the Adolescent Discrimination Distress Index (ADDI) and its subscales - institutional, educational, and peer - with tobacco use outcomes.
methodsWeighted logistic regression was used to model the effect of discrimination on past 30-day tobacco use, poly-tobacco use, use frequency, tobacco dependence, intention to quit, and history of quit attempt using data from the 2023 National Youth Tobacco Survey.
resultsApproximately 53.9% (> 12 million) of adolescents reported discrimination. Higher ADDI scores were associated with higher odds of tobacco dependence (AOR = 1.04, 95% CI = 1.02-1.07, p < 0.05). Higher scores on each of the three subscales were associated with higher odds of tobacco dependence: institutional (1.09, 1.04-1.16), educational (1.10, 1.03-1.17), and peer (1.08, 1.04-1.13) (p < 0.05 for all). Moreover, the peer subscale was associated with lower odds of intention to quit (0.93, 0.88-0.99) and history of quit attempt (0.93, 0.87-0.99) (p < 0.05 for both).
conclusionsScores of ADDI and each of the three subscales were independently associated with tobacco dependence. Scores of the peer subscale were also associated with lower intention to quit and quit attempt. Prevention interventions may consider strategies to increase resilience against discrimination and screening for discrimination when treating young people with tobacco dependence.
