Acceptability of Lay-Led PTSD and SUD Interventions among Indigenous College Students.
Article in Journal of racial and ethnic health disparities, 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
objectiveThe goal of this study was to understand which types of lay-led posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and substance use disorder (SUD) interventions were acceptable to Indigenous college students.
method401 Indigenous college students (74.0% women, 18.0% men, 7.6% Two-Spirit, transgender, and non-binary individuals) from North America were recruited as part of a larger study assessing the acceptability of sexual violence interventions for Indigenous college students. Participants reported on their mental health and trauma history, and were randomly assigned to read descriptions of, and evaluate, one lay-led PTSD intervention [written exposure therapy (WET) or narrative exposure therapy (NET)] and one SUD intervention [motivational interviewing (MI) or 12-step programs (ns for complete acceptability data = 180-213)]. Participants also rated the importance of specific intervention elements, including cultural content.
resultsApproximately 40% (41.6%) of participants met criteria for probable PTSD, 37.2% met criteria for probable SUD, and 21.4% met criteria for both probable PTSD and SUD. Most participants (80.0%-86.4%) positively rated each of the four interventions. Participants preferred for interventions to be delivered in college/school settings (70.4%-74.3%) and on Tribal lands/within their community (60.8%-64.6%). Participants also emphasized a strong preference for Indigenous providers (81.9%-89.4%), and cultural content was rated as a moderately important intervention element.
conclusionsIndigenous college students are highly receptive to different lay-led PTSD and SUD interventions. Findings highlight the need to train Indigenous non-professionals and the importance of both cultural components and intervention components to increase access and acceptability of PTSD and SUD interventions for Indigenous college students.
