Parent and friend support and communication as correlates of sexual and gender minority alcohol use in sexual contexts.

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
Purpose: Emerging adults who identify as sexual and gender minorities (SGM) often report greater alcohol use and adverse sexual health experiences compared to cisgender heterosexual (CH) peers. This study investigated whether participants' identity as either SGM or CH was related to drinking in sexual contexts (DISC) through its relationship with levels of social support, supportive communication, and sex communication from parents and friends. Methods: Cross-sectional survey responses were collected on-line during November 2024-May 2025 from a convenience sample of 674 university students in the USA. Results: Two path models were conducted using the PROCESS macro in SPSS, one examining parent variables, and the other examining friend variables. Each model specified one predictor (identity: CH or SGM), one outcome (DISC), and four parallel mediators (social support [parent/friend]; general communication [parent/friend], open sex communication [parent/friend]; lack of sex communication [parent/friend]. The indirect path of identity to DISC was significant via parent lack of sex communication ( Conclusion: These findings highlight the importance of DISC within the conversation of SGM sexual health and the need for family and peer-based interventions.
