An examination of the associations between AUDIT scores, person-level differences in daily location changes, and stress among college students.
Article in Scientific reports, 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
Daily fluctuations in location changes and stress may influence health outcomes, yet their interrelation and links to alcohol-related behaviors are not well characterized in college populations. To assess dynamic associations between location changes and stress and determine whether baseline Alcohol use symptomology predict these patterns. Undergraduates (N = 185; Mage = 18.47; 75% female) from the Colorado Ecological Momentary Assessment Project reported daily locations visited and stress. Dynamic Structural Equation Modeling estimated autoregressive and cross-lagged effects, with baseline Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT) scores as a predictor. Stress demonstrated significant autoregressive stability (p < 0.05); location changes did not. Cross-lagged effects were non-significant, but post hoc reciprocal paths between stress and location changes were significant (p < 0.05). Higher baseline AUDIT scores predicted greater average location changes across the sampling period (p < 0.05), but not stress. The present findings suggest that variability in alcohol use symptomology and related behaviors may be meaningfully associated with individual differences in stress and mobility patterns among young adult college students. Incorporating location change metrics into behavioral health research may inform interventions aimed at stress regulation and alcohol risk reduction in young adults. More broadly, these findings highlight the importance of considering contextual and structural influences, such as academic schedules and daily routines, when interpreting patterns of student mobility, stress management, and alcohol-related behaviors.
