ADOLESCENT ALCOHOL USE NORMS AND FAMILY PROCESSES

青少年饮酒模式植根于家庭环境，因为 父母就饮酒问题向孩子进行社交活动，并充当 饮酒行为的早期模型。饮酒模式的发展 然而，比简单地模仿父母饮酒要复杂得多 行为。父母对青少年饮酒的规范可能更多 比父母的酒精相关行为模式更有影响力。一点儿 然而，人们已经知道，家庭过程有助于 青少年对父母饮酒规范的接受程度。我们 建议测试一个发展模型，该模型描述了 促进父母规范的传播，供青少年使用。我们专注于 在农村家庭中，饮酒率高的群体通常 被研究人员忽视了。该提案包含以下内容 变量：父母控制方式、亲子沟通、 父母的温暖，父母在青少年规范上的趋同 饮酒、父母间冲突和父母饮酒行为。 青少年和同龄人饮酒行为和规范的评估 饮酒也将被获得。为了评估这些构造，我们 提出一个多方法设计，使用来自母亲、父亲、 青少年和朋友，以及对 母亲/父亲/青少年之间的互动。具有代表性的220个样本 家庭将从东北的10个县卫生区招募 乔治亚。

Adolescent drinking patterns are rooted in the home environment, as parents socialize their children concerning alcohol use and-serve as early models of drinking behavior. The development of drinking patterns is, however, more complex than simple imitation of parental drinking behavior. Parental norms for adolescent alcohol use may be more influential than the alcohol-related behavior the parents model. Little is known, however, about the family processes that contribute to adolescents' acceptance of their parents' norms for alcohol use. We propose to test a developmental model describing the .conditions that foster the transmission of parents' norms for adolescent use. We focus on rural families, a group with high alcohol-use rates that has typically been ignored by researchers. The proposal incorporates the following variables: parental control style, parent-adolescent communication, parental warmth, convergence between parents on norms for adolescent alcohol use, interparental conflict, and parental drinking behavior. Assessments of adolescent and peer drinking behavior and norms, for alcohol use will also be obtained. To assess these constructs, we propose a multimethod design Using self-reports from mothers, fathers, adolescents, and friends, as well as observations of mother/father/adolescent interactions. A representative sample of 220 families will be recruited from a 10-county health district in Northeast Georgia.
