Correlates of Alcohol Use Severity among Black/African American Adolescents and Emerging Adults with Risky Drinking.
Article in Addiction research & theory, 2025. 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
Objective: Alcohol misuse reaches peak prevalence during adolescence and emerging adulthood increasing the risk for health harms, which is particularly concerning among Black/African American (AA) youth considering the health inequities these individuals experience. Also, disparities in alcohol-related negative social consequences (e.g., incarceration, unemployment) exist. Interventions for youth who engage in risky drinking need to be tailored to diverse needs to achieve better public health outcomes, health equity, and social justice. Herein, to inform future tailored interventions, we report on the factors associated with drinking severity among a sample of Black/AA youth who screened positive for past 3-month risky drinking. Method: We analyzed baseline cross-sectional data from a randomized controlled trial on alcohol intervention efficacy among youth aged 16-24. This study focused on 184 Black/AA participants. Using multivariate regression, we examined substance use characteristics, self-efficacy to reduce alcohol consumption, and resiliency as they relate to alcohol use severity, controlling for age and sex. Results: In an adjusted model, older age, more frequent non-fatal overdose experiences, and lower self-efficacy to reduce drinking were significantly associated with more severe drinking. Sex, other substance use, and resiliency did not significantly differentiate alcohol use severity in this sample. Conclusions: Tailored behavioral interventions to reduce risky drinking severity among Black/AA youth may benefit from considering culturally appropriate ways to increase self-efficacy to reduce drinking while paying special attention to addressing risk for overdose experiences.
