“…This is in line with a review of the literature that concluded that there is no clear pattern of association between alcohol use and socioeconomic status in adolescence [28]. Some studies have reported an inverse relationship between parents' socioeconomic status and adolescent drinking, but this relationship can probably be explained by differences between low and high socio-economic families in terms of the parent-child relationship, alcohol-related permissiveness and drinking with children present [29]. In the current study, we found that belonging one of the three groups with elevated drinking was predicted by frequency of seeing parents drunk.…”

Introduction and Aims. To identify latent developmental episodic heavy drinking (EHD) trajectory groups for Norwegian adolescents, investigate risk factors associated with group membership and to assess differences in alcohol problems between different groups in early adulthood. Design and Methods. Data were from 1266 individuals measured at four time points from age 13/14 years to age 26/27 years. Latent class growth analysis was used to identify groups with different EHD development. Multinomial logistic regression was used to investigated if gender, impulsivity, school commitment, parents' socio‐economic status, frequency of seeing parents drunk and parental knowledge could predict group membership. Differences in alcohol problem scores at age 26/27 were also assessed. Results. Four trajectory groups were identified: ‘stable high’, ‘early increasers’, ‘late increasers’ and ‘stable low’. Membership of the high‐risk trajectory groups ‘stable high’ and ‘early increasers’ was predicted by high impulsivity, low school commitment, high frequency of seeing parents drunk and low parental knowledge. The risk of alcohol problems at age 26/27 was greater for the ‘stable high’ group, the ‘early increasers’ and the ‘late increasers’ compared with the ‘stable low’ group. The ‘stable high’ and ‘early increasers’ had similar risk of alcohol problems. Discussion and Conclusions. Stable high and early increasing EHD in adolescence was associated with more alcohol problems in early adulthood. Such trajectories were predicted by high impulsivity, low school commitment, high frequency of seeing parents drunk and low parental knowledge. [Brunborg GS, Norström T, Storvoll EE.

“…Parents' educational level was our main indicator for socioeconomic background. Previous analyses of the data set showed that a relatively small group with low-educated parents differed markedly from those with medium-or high-educated parents with respect to drinking (Norström et al, 2017;Pape et al, 2017). Whether the parents' educational level was high or medium barely made a difference, implying that the main social divide was between the lowest parental education group and all the others.…”

“…Such a differential impact of socioeconomic background also emerged in analyses of the frequency of alcohol use (Janssen, Pape (Jan 2018) 4 2016). Moreover, a Norwegian study showed that low parental SES was related more strongly to alcohol use by early teen youth as compared with mid-teen youth, whereas socioeconomic background did not make any difference among older teenagers (Pape et al, 2017). Thus, the more age-inappropriate the drinking, the stronger was the statistical impact of low parental SES.…”

“…Moreover, Pape et al . —who analysed data from the same survey on which the present study is based—found that low SES was associated with early, frequent and heavy episodic drinking. Thus, the research literature offers some indirect indications that SES differences in youth violence in part may be due to differential exposure to the potential aggression‐arousing effects of alcohol.…”

The findings lend support to both the differential exposure hypothesis and to the differential vulnerability hypothesis as well as the hypothesis of an enhancing effect of impulsivity on the HED-violence association. The SES difference in youth violence can be accounted for by: (i) an elevated prevalence of HED in low-SES groups; and (ii) a stronger than average link between HED and violence in low-SES groups due to their higher than average impulsivity score.

Adolescent drinking—a touch of social class?

Abstract: Adolescent drinking in Norway appears to be related inversely to parents' social standing. The elevated risk of low socio-economic status vanishes when general parenting, alcohol-related parental permissiveness and parents' drinking are accounted for.
