Sustaining collegiate recovery programs: a literature review and SWOT analysis.
Review in Frontiers in public health, 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
Substance use disorder and behavioral addictions remain significant concerns within higher education, yet little research has examined Collegiate Recovery Programs (CRPs) from an organizational perspective. This narrative literature review synthesized 71 peer reviewed studies to examine the internal and external organizational factors influencing the long term sustainability of CRPs using a Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats (SWOT) framework. Following a comprehensive literature search, findings were analyzed using deductive thematic synthesis to identify recurring organizational characteristics within each SWOT domain. Five organizational strengths, five weaknesses, several external opportunities, and six external threats emerged across the body of literature. Organizational strengths included recovery supportive cultures, peer driven infrastructures, integration of recovery with student success initiatives, sustained recovery support, and institutional value. Recurring weaknesses included financial instability, organizational heterogeneity, inconsistent institutional integration, staffing variability, and limited organizational evaluation. External opportunities centered on expansion into diverse educational settings, institutional partnerships, workforce development, and strengthening the evidence base through longitudinal and financial evaluation, whereas threats included recovery stigma, unstable funding environments, inconsistent policy support, limited stakeholder awareness, and changing higher education environments. Collectively, the findings suggest that the sustainability of CRPs depends not only on positive student outcomes but also on organizational capacity, institutional integration, strategic partnerships, and measurable organizational performance. This review advances an organizational framework for understanding the broad impact and long term sustainability of CRPs and provides a foundation for future research, policy, and practice.
