Studies show that children of alcoholics constitute a population at-risk commonly for poor performance, skipping school days, and school drop out. The focus of the present study was to examine a variety of direct outcome variables measuring academic performance among a sample of 226 children, 108 of them from parents who misused alcohol in Cadiz. Parents were outpatients of a Health Service and received treatment for the drinking problem; 118 students were children of nonalcoholic parents attending the same schools as the children of alcoholic parents. Both groups were compared on age, sex, school grade, and social environment. The study identified five variables on which performance by children of alcoholic parents was poorer: intelligence, repeating a grade, low academic performance, skipping school days, and dropping out of school.
研究表明，酗酒者的子女通常是一个处于风险中的群体，他们往往成绩不佳、逃学且辍学。本研究的重点是在226名儿童样本中考察一系列衡量学业成绩的直接结果变量，其中108名儿童的父母在加的斯存在酒精滥用问题。这些父母是一家健康服务机构的门诊病人，正在接受饮酒问题治疗；118名学生是非酗酒父母的孩子，他们与酗酒父母的孩子就读于同一所学校。对两组儿童在年龄、性别、年级和社会环境方面进行了比较。该研究确定了酗酒父母的孩子在五个变量上表现较差：智力、留级、学业成绩低、逃学和辍学。
