Using a high-risk community sample (N = 567), the current study examined risk for externalizing and internalizing problems in the children of parents with recovered and current substance use disorders (SUDs). This study also tested whether parenting mediated the relations between these variables. Results suggest that children of parents with current diagnoses were at elevated risk for externalizing and internalizing problems, but children of parents with recovered diagnoses were only at risk for externalizing problems. Perceived parental consistency of support mediated the relations between parent current SUD and child externalizing and internalizing problems. Disruption of the home environment may in part explain why children of parents with SUDs are at risk for externalizing and internalizing problems. However, even after parent SUD has remitted, children remain at risk for externalizing problems, suggesting multiple mechanisms by which parents confer risk for psychopathology.
本研究使用了一个高风险社区样本（N = 567），考察了父母患有已康复和当前物质使用障碍（SUDs）的儿童出现外化和内化问题的风险。本研究还检验了养育方式是否介导了这些变量之间的关系。结果表明，父母当前被诊断患有物质使用障碍的儿童出现外化和内化问题的风险升高，但父母已康复的儿童仅存在外化问题的风险。感知到的父母支持一致性介导了父母当前的物质使用障碍与儿童外化和内化问题之间的关系。家庭环境的破坏可能部分解释了为什么患有物质使用障碍的父母的孩子存在外化和内化问题的风险。然而，即使父母的物质使用障碍已经缓解，孩子仍有外化问题的风险，这表明父母将精神病理学风险传递给孩子的机制是多方面的。
