Characteristics associated with alcohol and cannabis-related impaired risky driving and riding behaviors among adolescents.
Article in Traffic injury prevention, 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
objectiveAdolescents who are learning to drive are in a pivotal developmental period during which the risk of engaging in substance use, driving under the influence (DUI), and riding with an impaired driver (RWID) are amplified. We examined the extent to which alcohol and/or cannabis use, peer and parent influences, resistance self-efficacy, and individual perceived driving risks were associated with RWID and future willingness to DUI/RWID among adolescents enrolled in a Colorado driver education program.
methodsThe current study was part of a larger randomized controlled trial, webCHAT, designed to prevent risky driving behaviors among novice drivers aged 15.5-17 years. The included sample (
resultsOne-quarter of participants reported consuming alcohol (25.5%), 5.6% cannabis, and 3.1% alcohol and cannabis simultaneously in the past three months, with 22.0% reporting RWID with alcohol and/or cannabis and 3.6% endorsing DUI in their lifetime. Adolescents who perceived driving under the influence of cannabis (DUIC) or alcohol (DUIA) as less risky were significantly more likely to endorse RWID.
conclusionsThe study reveals that individual perceived attitudes are associated with risky driving among young people learning to drive and highlights ideas for early prevention during this developmental milestone. Driver education programs provide an existing platform which can address both risk perceptions of impaired driving behaviors and cannabis-related permissive attitudes.
