More than 50% of Dutch 12-year olds already started drinking. Since it is known that delaying the onset of alcohol use results in a lower risk of alcohol-related problems, the recently developed 'In control: No alcohol!' prevention program is targeted at elementary school children and their mothers. In this pilot study, the success of program implementation and impact of the program on quality of alcohol-specific communication, rules and monitoring were evaluated, using a randomized controlled design. A total of 108 children (11-12 years) and their mothers participated in the prevention program, while the control group consisted of 105 dyads. Families participating in the experimental condition showed an increase in frequency of alcohol-specific communication and 75% of the dyads reported that they took part in at least 3 of 5 magazines, suggesting implementation was successful. The program led to an increase in quality of communication but only for those dyads in which mothers' alcohol use was above average. The program led parents to set up a non-drinking contract with their children and to monitor their children more closely. Results are promising but need to be replicated in a larger longitudinal study.
超过 50%的荷兰 12 岁儿童已经开始饮酒。由于众所周知，延迟饮酒的开始会降低与酒精相关问题的风险，因此最近开发的“控制：不饮酒！”预防计划针对小学生及其母亲。在这项试点研究中，采用随机对照设计评估了计划实施的成功以及该计划对酒精特异性交流、规则和监测质量的影响。共有 108 名儿童（11-12 岁）及其母亲参加了预防计划，而对照组由 105 对组成。参与实验条件的家庭显示出酒精特异性交流频率的增加，并且 75%的对子报告说他们至少参加了 5 期杂志中的 3 期，表明实施是成功的。该计划导致沟通质量提高，但仅对母亲饮酒量高于平均水平的对子有效。该计划促使父母与孩子签订不饮酒合同，并更密切地监督孩子。结果有希望，但需要在更大的纵向研究中复制。
