Does Housing Eviction Modify the Effects of Alcohol Outlet Density on Hospitalizations for Assault and Alcohol Use Disorder in Pennsylvania?
Article in Alcohol, clinical & experimental research, 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
backgroundExamining how the relationship between alcohol outlet density and alcohol-related harms may vary by neighborhood-level factors is important for informing the evaluation and implementation of environmental alcohol interventions and identifying other community conditions that can be modified to reduce alcohol-related harms and inequities. This study aims to extend prior research by testing whether housing eviction-a cause of housing insecurity and neighborhood destabilization-modifies the impact of alcohol outlet density on hospitalizations for assault and alcohol use disorder (AUD) in Pennsylvania ZIP codes.
methodsWe used Bayesian hierarchical space-time misalignment models to examine the associations between inpatient assault and AUD hospitalizations and housing eviction filing rates, alcohol outlet density, and the proportion of outlets selling alcohol for off-premise consumption at the ZIP code level in Pennsylvania 2018-2022 (n = 7257 space-time units), reporting relative rates (RR) and 95% credible intervals (CIs). We tested whether eviction filing rates modified the associations between outlet density/the proportion of off-premise outlets and hospitalizations for AUD and assault.
resultsIn main effects models, a one percent increase in the eviction filing rate was associated with a 1.2% increase in AUD hospitalizations (95% CI: 1.01, 1.015) and a 1.9% increase in assault hospitalizations (95% CI: 1.002, 1.038). The addition of one outlet per square mile was associated with a 0.3% increase in AUD hospitalizations (95% CI: 1.002, 1.004) and a 0.6% increase in assault hospitalizations (95% CI: 1.003, 1.008). In interaction models, eviction filing rates strengthened the positive associations between outlet density and hospitalizations for both assault and AUD.
conclusionsReducing housing evictions may mitigate the impact of alcohol outlet density on AUD and assault. Future research, policy, and practice should explore opportunities for jointly addressing the alcohol environment and neighborhood housing conditions.
