The aim of this study was to test the direction of effect in the relationship between parents' sources of knowledge (parental monitoring and child disclosure) and adolescent alcohol use. The participants were 215 adolescents and their mothers, randomly selected from urban and rural areas in Cyprus. A 3-month, two-timepoint longitudinal design was used in which adolescents completed the alcohol use disorders identification test while mothers completed a parental knowledge questionnaire. The results of this study showed that parental monitoring did not predict subsequent adolescent alcohol use. However, child disclosure at Time 1 negatively predicted adolescent alcohol use at Time 2. Moreover, adolescents' alcohol dependence symptoms at Time 1 negatively predicted both sources of parental knowledge at Time 2.
本研究旨在检验父母知识来源（父母监督和子女披露）与青少年饮酒之间关系的影响方向。参与者为 215 名青少年及其母亲，他们随机选自塞浦路斯的城乡地区。采用 3 个月、2 个时间点的纵向设计，青少年在这段时间内完成了酒精使用障碍识别测试，而母亲则完成了一份父母知识问卷。本研究结果表明，父母监督并不能预测后续青少年的饮酒行为。然而，在第一时间的子女披露情况却会负向预测第二时间的青少年饮酒行为。此外，青少年在第一时间的酒精依赖症状也会负向预测第二时间的父母知识来源。
