Sex Differences in the Synergistic Effects of Distress Intolerance and Anxiety Sensitivity on Alcohol Use and Related Problems Among Black Adults who Smoke.
Article in Journal of racial and ethnic health disparities, 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
objectiveAlthough Black Americans have less alcohol use than non-Hispanic/Latine White Americans, they have comparable rates of binge drinking and alcohol use disorder. Moreover, Black Americans that smoke cigarettes appear at especially high risk for alcohol-related problems, highlighting a need to identify factors related to alcohol outcomes among Black Americans that smoke to better tailor treatments. Anxiety sensitivity (AS) and distress intolerance (DI) are associated with greater drinking and related problems. However, little research has tested the interactive effects of these risk factors on drinking behaviors. Further, AS and DI have differential relationships with drinking behaviors for men and women, so it may be that the synergistic effect of AS and DI on alcohol use behaviors vary by sex.
methodThis sample consisted of 419 community-recruited Black adults (51.1% women) with a history of cigarette use and past-month drinking for an online cross-sectional study.
resultsAlthough DI and AS were significantly correlated with alcohol quantity, binge drinking frequency, and problems, after controlling for shared variance, AS was no longer significantly related to quantity or problems. The DI X AS X sex interaction was statistically significantly related to binge drinking frequency, such that DI was related to greater binge drinking frequency for men with lower AS and women with higher levels of AS.
conclusionsThis study furthers our understanding of sex differences in transdiagnostic risk factors related to alcohol misuse among Black adults who smoke, highlighting the clinical relevance of AS and DI for intervention and efforts among this high-risk group.
