This study identified latent trajectory classes for maternal problem drinking and paternal problem drinking and examined the associations between these trajectory classes and offspring anxiety symptoms during adolescence and emerging adulthood.
Participants (n = 870; 54% female; 59% non-Hispanic White; Mage = 16.10, SD = 0.71) were administered surveys during the spring of 2007, 2008, and 2009, and 2014.
Fit indices from parallel process growth mixture models suggested three dual trajectory classes: (1) Low initial levels of maternal problem drinking and paternal problem drinking that increased over time (Low-Both); (2) Low initial levels of maternal problem drinking that increased over time and high initial levels of paternal problem drinking that increased slightly over time (Low-Mom/High-Dad); (3) High initial levels of maternal problem drinking that increased slightly over time and low initial levels of paternal problem drinking that remained relatively stable over time (High-Mom/Low-Dad). Girls were more likely than boys to be classified in the Low-Mom/High-Dad and High-Mom/Low-Dad classes, relative to the Low-Both trajectory class. In addition, adolescents in the High-Mom/Low-Dad trajectory class reported the most anxiety symptoms during adolescence and emerging adulthood.
Limitations include the reliance on one informant (the adolescent/emerging adult) and the geographically limited sample (northeastern United States).
Prevention and intervention programs aimed at reducing anxiety should consider changes in alcohol use in both the father and the mother over time. Moreover, special attention should be paid to maternal problem drinking given that it appears to be a salient risk factor for anxiety during adolescence and emerging adulthood.
本研究确定了母亲酗酒和父亲酗酒的潜在轨迹类别，并探讨了这些轨迹类别与青少年和成年早期后代焦虑症状之间的关联。
参与者（n=870；54%为女性；59%为非西班牙裔白人；Mage=16.10，SD=0.71）在 2007 年、2008 年和 2009 年以及 2014 年春季接受了调查。
平行过程增长混合模型的拟合指标表明存在三种双轨迹类别：（1）母亲酗酒和父亲酗酒的初始水平较低，随着时间的推移而增加（低双）；（2）母亲酗酒的初始水平较低，随着时间的推移而增加，父亲酗酒的初始水平较高，随着时间的推移略有增加（低妈妈/高爸爸）；（3）母亲酗酒的初始水平随着时间的推移略有增加，父亲酗酒的初始水平较低，随着时间的推移相对稳定（高妈妈/低爸爸）。与低双轨迹类别相比，女孩更有可能被归类于低妈妈/高爸爸和高妈妈/低爸爸类别。此外，在高妈妈/低爸爸轨迹类别的青少年在青少年和成年早期报告的焦虑症状最多。
限制包括依赖一个信息源（青少年/成年早期）和地理上有限的样本（美国东北部）。
旨在减少焦虑的预防和干预计划应考虑到父亲和母亲随着时间的推移而改变饮酒习惯。此外，鉴于母亲酗酒似乎是青少年和成年早期焦虑的一个重要风险因素，应特别关注母亲酗酒问题。
