尽管酗酒家族史是导致饮酒问题发展的一个主要风险因素，但现有的关于这一主题的经验性文献对这种关系的强度和广度提出了重大问题。此外，很少有研究评估可以改善或加剧酗酒者子女(COA)不良后果风险的因素。目前的研究比较了84名成年COA与111名正常对照和102名精神对照后代的饮酒、精神和心理社会状况。成年COA在酒精和药物滥用以及与行为控制不足相关的人格特征方面与对照组不同。此外，雌性和雄性后代的饮酒结果在不同组之间有最明显的差异。并对今后的研究方向进行了展望。
Although family history of alcoholism represents a major risk factor in the development of drinking problems, the available empirical literature on this topic has raised significant questions regarding the strength and breadth of this relationship. In addition, few studies have evaluated factors that can ameliorate or exacerbate risk for adverse outcomes among children of alcoholics (COAs). The current study compared the drinking, psychiatric, and psychosocial status of 84 adult COAs with those of 111 offspring of normal controls and 102 offspring of psychiatric controls. Adult COAs were differentiated from control groups regarding alcohol and drug abuse and personality characteristics associated with behavioral undercontrol. Furthermore, the drinking outcomes of female versus male offspring were most clearly differentiated across groups. Future research directions are discussed.
