This study examines the relationship between children's reports of their parents' drinking patterns, and the child's alcohol misuse and heavy alcohol use in early adolescence. Subjects were 2,213 fifth and sixth grade students. Data on the child's alcohol use and misuse, and parent alcohol use, were derived from classroom-administered questionnaires. Increased reported level of drinking by mother or by father was significantly associated with increased odds of alcohol misuse and heavy alcohol use among the children; these results held for both boys and girls when examined separately. Examination for possible confounding effects of assortative mating by parental drinking suggests that reports of heavy drinking in either parent increases the risk of alcohol misuse and heavy alcohol use in children. Implications for prevention efforts are discussed.
本研究考察了儿童对其父母饮酒模式的报告与儿童在青春期早期酒精滥用及大量饮酒之间的关系。研究对象为2213名五年级和六年级学生。关于儿童酒精使用与滥用以及父母饮酒情况的数据，来自于课堂发放的问卷。报告显示，母亲或父亲饮酒量的增加与儿童酒精滥用及大量饮酒几率的增加显著相关；分别对男孩和女孩进行考察时，这些结果均成立。对父母饮酒的选型交配可能产生的混杂效应进行的检验表明，父母中任何一方大量饮酒的报告都会增加儿童酒精滥用及大量饮酒的风险。文中还讨论了对预防工作的启示。
