“…Examples include enhanced education services for primarily low-income, very young children to improve their cognitive, language, and socialcognitive skills; [48][49][50] and interventions that strengthen parenting skills, parent-child communication, and affective relationships. These include universal (eg, the Strengthening Families Program for Parents and Youth 10-14 28,72,73 and the Computer-Based Intervention 54,55 ), selective (eg, the New Beginnings Program 56 ), and indicated programmes (eg, Functional Family Therapy 74 ). Across programmes, significant effects were identified in early childhood to late adolescence and include reduced child abuse and neglect, alcohol and other drug misuse, risky sexual activity, depression, and delinquency and crime, and greater educational attainment.…”

The burden of morbidity and mortality from non-communicable disease has risen worldwide and is accelerating in low-income and middle-income countries, whereas the burden from infectious diseases has declined. Since this transition, the prevention of non-communicable disease as well as communicable disease causes of adolescent mortality has risen in importance. Problem behaviours that increase the short-term or long-term likelihood of morbidity and mortality, including alcohol,

“…This programme is aimed at parents with substance misuse problems and their children, including parents with a drug problem and/or parents with a drinking problem. In recent years, a specific version of this programme has been developed for all parents, whether or not they have substance misuse problems (Spoth, Redmond, Shin, & Azevedo, 2004). However, the original version (which is still used in the USA) is a training programme for adults who have problems with drugs or alcohol.…”

It is well established that children of problem drinkers have an increased risk of developing mental health problems, including drinking and drug misuse problems, depression, eating disorders, conduct disorders, and delinquency. However, compared to the hundreds of studies that have examined the effects of parental problem drinking on their children, the genetics of problem drinking, and the physical and mental problems of these children, it is disappointing that so few studies have explored the possibilities of prevention. Despite all the research on children of problem drinkers, we have no usable operationalizations of what problem drinking is, or when a child can be defined as a child of a problem drinker. Furthermore, no valid screening or severity assessment instruments are available; there is no solution for the ethical dilemma of the need to involve parents while these parents are at the same time the problem; very few theory-driven prevention programmes have been developed; very little is known about protective factors that could be the focus of prevention programmes; and we have no programmes that can be considered to be 'evidence based'. This paper describes these problems, presents an overview of the prevention research in this area, and gives some directions for future research.

“…Indeed, investigators have found that enhancing parent-child relationships can reduce underage drinking (Spoth et al, 2004). The most effi cacious family approaches engage parents and children together (Dishion and Kavanagh, 2003;McDonald and Sayger, 1998).…”

ABSTRACT. Objective: This study evaluated a gender-specific, computer-mediated intervention program to prevent underage drinking among early adolescent girls. Method: Study participants were adolescent girls and their mothers from New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut. Participants completed pretests online and were randomly divided between intervention and control arms. Intervention-arm girls and their mothers interacted with a computer program aimed to enhance motherdaughter relationships and to teach girls skills for managing confl ict, resisting media infl uences, refusing alcohol and drugs, and correcting peer norms about underage drinking, smoking, and drug use. After intervention, all participants (control and intervention) completed posttest and follow-up measurements. Results: Two months following program delivery and relative to control-arm participants, intervention-arm girls and mothers had improved their mother-daughter communication skills and their perceptions and applications of parental monitoring and rulesetting relative to girls' alcohol use. Also at follow-up, intervention-arm girls had improved their confl ict management and alcohol use-refusal skills; reported healthier normative beliefs about underage drinking; demonstrated greater self-effi cacy about their ability to avoid underage drinking; reported less alcohol consumption in the past 7 days, 30 days, and year; and expressed lower intentions to drink as adults. Conclusions: Study fi ndings modestly support the viability of a mother-daughter, computer-mediated program to prevent underage drinking among adolescent girls. The data have implications for the further development of genderspecifi c approaches to combat increases in alcohol and other substance use among American girls. (J. Stud.
