Parents Influence Children’s Drinking and Drug Use


Teenagers who drink alcohol or use drugs in the home with the knowledge of their parents are at increased risk for addiction-related consequences, according to results from an international survey.
Although parental knowledge “may protect students from experiencing certain short-term negative consequences, it places adolescents at greater risk for addiction,” said study researcher Heather Fay, MHS, from FCD Prevention Works in Newton, Massachusetts.
She presented the research here at the American Public Health Association 2015 Annual Meeting.
The results have implications for parents and for pediatricians, who are encouraged by the American Academy of Pediatrics to discuss substance abuse as part of routine healthcare (Pediatrics. 2005;115:816-821).
