Microaggressions, negative affect, and alcohol use behaviors among Black undergraduates: A daily diary study.
Article in Journal of substance use and addiction treatment, 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
introductionAlthough psycho-socio-cultural models of health disparities concerning alcohol among Black Americans posit that these differences arise in part due to the interplay of environmental (e.g., racism) and individual (e.g., negative affect) variables, there is a dearth of research testing whether these variables are proximally related to drinking. Thus, the present study used daily diary methodology to test whether experiences of race-based microaggressions were related to experiencing negative affect, greater drinking to cope with microaggressions-related negative affect, and other alcohol-related outcomes among Black adults.
methodsThe sample consisted of 148 Black undergraduates who endorsed past-month alcohol use who completed assessments of experiences of microaggressions, negative affect, and drinking behaviors once per day for two weeks.
resultsAfter controlling for non-racist daily stressors, days on which microaggressions were experienced had greater likelihood of alcohol use and more negative affect and alcohol craving. Further, experiencing more microaggressions was statistically significantly related to more negative affect and alcohol-related problems. Microaggressions were indirectly related to alcohol problems and to coping motivated alcohol use via negative affect.
conclusionThis is the first known study to identify that experiencing race-based microaggressions is proximally related to alcohol use, more negative affect, coping-motivated alcohol use, and alcohol-related problems.
