“…PKs are a special group of adolescents who often receive strong pressure from their parents to be model children (Fichter 1992;Norrell 1989). Popular perception and anecdotal evidence have suggested that this leads PKs to be either the best or the worst behaved among their peers (Allman 2007).…”

Preachers' Kids and Risky Health BehaviorsThis paper examines parental influence on adolescent risky behavior, focusing on a unique population: children of the clergy, more commonly known as preachers' kids (PKs). We use latent variable and zero-inflated count models to analyze the effect of being a PK on both uptake and intensity of use of alcohol, cigarettes, marijuana, and other drugs. We find that being a PK significantly reduces alcohol use. This effect comes exclusively from a reduction in the probability of any alcohol use and this increased abstinence among children of the clergy persists into adulthood. These results are consistent with popular conceptions that PKs either take no risks or take large risks. We find no significant effects of being a PK on cigarette uptake or intensity of use but some evidence of a negative PK effect on the uptake of marijuana and other drugs.
