The purpose of the present study was to examine the effects of parental provision of alcohol and home alcohol accessibility on the trajectories of young adolescent alcohol use and intentions.
Data were part of a longitudinal study of alcohol use among multi-ethnic urban young adolescents who were assigned randomly to the control group of a prevention trial.
Data were collected from a cohort of youth, and their parents, who attended public schools in Chicago, Illinois (2002-2005).
The sample comprised the 1388 students, and their parents, who had been assigned randomly to the control group and were present and completed surveys at baseline, in the beginning of 6th grade (age 12). The sample was primarily low-income, and African American and Hispanic.
Students completed self-report questionnaires when in the 6th, 7th and 8th grades (age 12-14 years; response rates 91-96%). Parents of the 6th grade students also completed questionnaires (70% response rate).
Student report, at age 12, of parental provision of alcohol and home alcohol availability, and parental report of providing alcohol to their child and the accessibility of alcohol in the home, were associated with significant increases in the trajectories of young adolescent alcohol use and intentions from ages 12-14 years. Student report of receiving alcohol from their parent or taking it from home during their last drinking occasion were the most robust predictors of increases in alcohol use and intentions over time.
Results indicate that it is risky for parents to allow children to drink during early adolescence. When these findings are considered together with the risks associated with early onset of alcohol use, it is clear that parents can play an important role in prevention.
本研究旨在探讨父母提供酒精饮料及家庭中酒精饮料的可获取性对青少年早期饮酒行为轨迹及饮酒意愿的影响。
数据来自一项针对多民族城市青少年饮酒情况的纵向研究，这些青少年被随机分配到一项预防试验的对照组。
数据收集自伊利诺伊州芝加哥市公立学校的一组青少年及其父母（2002 - 2005年）。
样本包括1388名学生及其父母，他们被随机分配到对照组，并在六年级初（12岁）的基线期到场并完成了调查。样本主要是低收入的非裔美国人和西班牙裔。
学生在六年级、七年级和八年级（12 - 14岁）时完成自我报告问卷（回复率91 - 96%）。六年级学生的父母也完成了问卷（回复率70%）。
12岁学生报告父母提供酒精饮料及家庭中酒精饮料的可获取性，以及父母报告向孩子提供酒精饮料及家庭中酒精饮料的可获取性，均与12 - 14岁青少年饮酒行为轨迹及饮酒意愿的显著增加相关。学生报告在最近一次饮酒时从父母处获得酒精饮料或从家中获取酒精饮料，是饮酒行为及饮酒意愿随时间增加的最有力预测因素。
结果表明，父母允许孩子在青春期早期饮酒存在风险。当这些研究结果与早期饮酒所带来的风险结合起来考虑时，显然父母在预防青少年饮酒方面可以发挥重要作用。
