Substance Use and Impulsivity Meta-Analysis Appraisal Tool

A 5.5 KB Excel tool for appraising studies in a proposed meta-analysis on everyday impulsivity and substance use. The dataset was authored by Ashmita Mazumder and last updated in April 2026. It supports a planned synthesis of findings on alcohol, cannabis, and tobacco use.

Use Cases

• Appraise study quality scores for inclusion in the meta-analysis.
• Extract and code effect size data for alcohol, cannabis, and tobacco use.
• Categorize studies by sample characteristics like substance-dependent versus community populations.
• Record methodological factors as potential moderators for subgroup analysis.

Strengths

• Clear focus on three specific substances: alcohol, cannabis, and tobacco.
• Structured for systematic data extraction across multiple study dimensions.

Limitations

• Very small 5.5 KB size indicates limited data, likely a template or appraisal framework.
• Contains no actual meta-analysis results, only a tool for a proposed study.
• Row count and sample data are unknown.
