The impact of parental modeling and permissibility on alcohol use and experienced negative drinking consequences in college
Addictive Behaviors Volume 34, Issues 6-7, June-July 2009, Pages 542-547
Results indicate that parental permissibility of alcohol use is a consistent predictor of teen drinking behaviors, which was strongly associated with experienced negative consequences. Parental modeled use of alcohol was also found to be a risk factor, with significant differences being seen across the gender of the parents and teens. Discussion focuses on risk factors and avenues for prevention research.
