The quality of parent-child relationships likely influences many decisions and behaviors made by early adolescents, including their alcohol and marijuana use. We examined how parent-youth relationship quality, parental monitoring, and parent substance use were associated with initiation of alcohol use, binge drinking, and marijuana use by 400 adolescents by the spring of 8th grade (ages 13-14), and changes in initiation through 9th grade (assessed 3 times; fall, winter, and spring). We measured both parent and adolescent report of parent-youth relationship quality and parental monitoring, expecting that both perspectives would uniquely contribute. Discrete Time Survival models showed that youth report of both a poorer parent-youth relationship and lower parental monitoring were associated with alcohol use, binge drinking, and marijuana use onset. Parent binge drinking also predicted youth alcohol onset and parent report of poor quality relationship predicted marijuana onset. Youth report of a poor relationship with parents was a stronger predictor for girls than boys on their alcohol use onset, and youth report of parental monitoring was more protective for girls than boys for both alcohol and marijuana use onset. Implications for preventing use of these substances during early and mid-adolescence are discussed. (PsycINFO Database Record
亲子关系的质量可能会影响青少年早期做出的许多决定和行为，包括他们使用酒精和大麻的情况。我们研究了亲子关系质量、父母监督以及父母物质使用如何与 400 名青少年在八年级春季（13-14 岁）开始饮酒、狂饮和使用大麻以及在九年级（评估 3 次；秋季、冬季和春季）开始使用大麻有关。我们同时测量了父母和青少年对亲子关系质量和父母监督的报告，预计这两个角度都会有独特的贡献。离散时间生存模型显示，青少年报告亲子关系较差和父母监督较低都与饮酒、狂饮和使用大麻有关。父母狂饮也预示着青少年的酒精使用开始，而父母报告的不良关系预示着青少年使用大麻开始。青少年与父母关系不好的报告对女孩的饮酒开始的预测作用强于男孩，而青少年对父母的监督报告对女孩和男孩的酒精和大麻使用开始都有更强的保护作用。讨论了在青少年早期和中期预防使用这些物质的意义。
