The aim of this study is to consider whether parents' abuse of alcohol has an impact on children during their formative years. The research is based on data from 84,765 children born in Denmark in 1966. These children and their parents were followed between 1979 and 1993. Information was analyzed from government registers covering health, education, family separation, suicidal behavior, criminality, and unemployment, using a discrete time Cox-regression model. Results showed that the parents' alcohol abuse may frame the childhood with parental violence, very high occurrence of family separations, and often foster care. The parental abuse of alcohol may influence several long-term consequences for their 15- to 27-year-old children such as increased mortality, self-destructive behaviors (e.g. attempted suicide or drug addiction). Hospitalization due to violence, an increased risk of teenage pregnancy and unemployment were also seen more frequently among cases where the parents were alcohol abusers. Mothers' alcohol abuse seemed to be associated with higher occurrences of all the mentioned disadvantages.
本研究的目的是探讨父母酗酒是否会在孩子成长阶段对其产生影响。该研究基于1966年在丹麦出生的84765名儿童的数据。在1979年至1993年期间对这些儿童及其父母进行了跟踪调查。利用离散时间Cox回归模型，对来自政府登记处的涵盖健康、教育、家庭分离、自杀行为、犯罪和失业等方面的信息进行了分析。结果显示，父母酗酒可能会使孩子的童年充斥着家庭暴力、频繁的家庭分离以及寄养情况。父母酗酒可能会对其15至27岁的孩子产生若干长期影响，如死亡率增加、自我毁灭行为（如自杀未遂或吸毒成瘾）。在父母酗酒的案例中，因暴力导致的住院治疗、青少年怀孕风险增加以及失业情况也更为常见。母亲酗酒似乎与上述所有不利情况的更高发生率相关。
