Children of substance abusers: psychosocial profile of children and adolescents

Abstract

Other Reasons for Leaving (OR). Results: In the Active group, 26% of mothers had completed high-school and 11% belonged to the A/B socioeconomic classes. The TD group showed the highest percentages of wage earning parents (52%) living together (64%). In the WIRL group, 17% of the mothers were illiterate or had not completed primary education, and 23% of the fathers were unemployed. In the WI group, 22% lived in houses that had been lent to them. Conclusions: Results indicate the impact of addiction and underprivileged conditions (such as housing status, fathers' level of education, and socioeconomic status) on retention in the service and the importance of health prevention and promotion strategies aimed at this population.
