To study the influences of parental alcohol problems on adolescents' alcohol consumption and motivations to drink alcohol.
A community sample of 1744 adolescents from schools in South Wales completed the 6-item Children of Alcoholics Screening Test, Drinking Motives Questionnaire, and survey measures of alcohol consumption.
Children of parents with alcohol problems constituted almost one-fifth of the sample group and were found to drink more frequently, more heavily, and more often alone than children of parents without alcohol problems. Parental alcohol problems were also related to internal motives to drink (e.g. coping) in their adolescent children. Across the entire sample, internal motives to drink interacted with parental alcohol problems in predicting alcohol consumption and drinking frequency.
Parental alcohol problems appeared to co-exist with an asocial pattern of alcohol consumption in adolescents that involves drinking alone and drinking to feel intoxicated or to forget about problems. In addition to the external, social motives to drink, which are shared by most adolescents, nearly one in five of the adolescents studied reported salient internal motives to drink that tended to coexist with alcohol problems in their parents.
研究父母酗酒问题对青少年饮酒及饮酒动机的影响。
从南威尔士学校选取1744名青少年作为社区样本，他们完成了6项酒精成瘾者子女筛查测试、饮酒动机问卷以及饮酒情况调查。
父母有酗酒问题的孩子占样本组近五分之一，且发现他们比父母无酗酒问题的孩子饮酒更频繁、量更大，也更常独自饮酒。父母酗酒问题还与他们青春期孩子的内在饮酒动机（如应对）有关。在整个样本中，内在饮酒动机与父母酗酒问题在预测饮酒量和饮酒频率方面存在相互作用。
父母酗酒问题似乎与青少年不合群的饮酒模式并存，这种模式包括独自饮酒以及为了喝醉或忘记问题而饮酒。除了大多数青少年共有的外在社交饮酒动机外，近五分之一接受研究的青少年报告称有明显的内在饮酒动机，且这些动机往往与他们父母的酗酒问题并存。
