The Longitudinal Impact of Discrimination on Substance Use among Filipino and Korean American Youth.
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
Asian American youth remain underrepresented in substance use research, despite growing visibility and evidence that some subgroups report disproportionately high levels of use. Although racial discrimination is a well-established risk factor for substance use, little is known about how its impact changes as Asian American youth grow up. This study used four waves of longitudinal data from 786 Asian American youth in the Midwestern U.S. (Mage.wave1=15 years; 52% female; 48% Filipino; 52% Korean) to examine how racial discrimination relates to substance use (current tobacco, alcohol, and illegal substance use; lifetime unauthorized stimulant use) from early adolescence to emerging adulthood. Mixed-effects logistic regression models tested between- and within-subjects effects of discrimination and age and their interactions. Findings reveal that more discrimination (between-subjects) was associated with greater current alcohol use, illegal substance use, and lifetime unauthorized stimulant use. Increases in discrimination over time (within-subjects) were linked to greater lifetime unauthorized stimulant use. The impact of discrimination (within-subjects) on alcohol and illegal substance use was stronger when youth were younger, although sensitivity analyses suggested that the effects were only marginally significant (p < .10), warranting cautious interpretation. Specifically, greater experiences of discrimination (within-subjects) were associated with more drinking yet lower illegal substance use during early adolescence, and these effects diminished as youth aged. This study provides a more nuanced understanding of how racial discrimination differentially shapes trajectories of various types of substance use during a critical developmental period. Findings can inform culturally responsive intervention strategies attentive to the unique challenges faced by Asian American youth.
