Attitudes and behaviours on driving under the influence of drugs: a multigroup analysis of non-drug users and people who use methamphetamine.
Article in Harm reduction journal, 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
backgroundStimulant-affected drivers are overrepresented in global road trauma statistics, however, studies to date have not accurately defined how drug consumption contributes to increased risk of road trauma. This study examined whether attitudes toward drug driving predicts dangerous driving behaviour among people who currently use methamphetamine, and whether this differs to individuals with no history of any drug use.
methodThree attitude factors (favourable attitudes toward risks, unfavourable attitudes toward sanctions, and favourable peer attitudes) were explored using an adapted version of attitudes towards drug driving scale and dangerous driving was measured using the Dula Dangerous Driving Index.
resultsA multigroup structural equation model indicated that individuals who use methamphetamine report more favourable attitudes toward drug driving compared to those who have never used drugs. Among people who use methamphetamine, a favourable attitude towards drug driving risks predicted higher dangerous driving behaviour scores, while more unfavourable attitudes toward sanctions for drug driving predicted lower scores. Among those with no history of substance use, favourable peer attitudes toward drug driving predicted dangerous driving behaviour.
conclusionsAttitudes towards drug-driving, and their relationship to dangerous driving behaviour differs between those who use methamphetamine and those who do not have a history of substance usage. Targeted campaigns aimed specifically at reducing methamphetamine-related road trauma should challenge general underlying beliefs and attitudes about drug driving, rather than simply the impact of potential sanctions or influence of peers.
