1 · What the graph read from it

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.

Abstract

backgroundPreventive interventions to delay substance use disorder (SUD) are ideally delivered during early adolescence, a critical period for exposure to substance use (SU) risk factors. Young teens (aged 12-14 years) engaging in occasional use of alcohol, cannabis, or tobacco use, or with a family history of SUD, are at increased risk for SUD. Although behavioral-ecological family therapy is effective for prevention, many families face access barriers. Single-session interventions (SSIs) may offer an accessible, low-intensity alternative.

objectiveThis open pilot trial aimed to evaluate the acceptability, feasibility, and potential usefulness of a family-based SSI targeting improvements in family practices that prevent SUD.

methodsParticipants were 9 young teens engaging in occasional SU or with a family history of SUD and their parent. The SSI involved a virtual 2-hour family consultation with a trained family coach. Acceptability was measured via Program Feedback Scale, feasibility via SSI completion rate, and potential usefulness via pre-post changes in parenting self-efficacy.

resultsThe SSI was acceptable to parents and teens (mean Program Feedback Scale scores ≥3) and feasible (8/9, 88.89% of parent-teen dyads completed the SSI). Among the 8 completing dyads, most participants (13/16, 81.25%) selected Communication and Problem Solving as their primary target for change. Parents reported increases in parenting self-efficacy from pre- to post-SSI.

conclusionsFindings support the SSI's acceptability and feasibility for young teens at high risk for SUD. A randomized clinical trial is needed to confirm the SSI's acceptability, feasibility, and efficacy, as well as to address potential for delivery by a lay workforce.
