Adolescent modeling of parent substance use: the moderating effect of the relationship with the parent

Article Abstract:

Research shows adolescents model the substance use of their parents where there is a good or moderate parent-adolescent relationship, indicating that not all good relationships are protective. The parents' substance use was not modeled where the relationship was comparatively poor. Research involved 633 mothers, 357 fathers and 657 adolescents. Where there was a good parent-adolescent relationship, the father's alcohol use was modeled by older boys and younger girls; mother's marijuana use modeled by older adolescents; father's marijuana use and mother's cigarette use were modeled by all.
