“…The study, which focused on 3,587 parents and 7,065 children between 11 and 19 years in five European countries (Sweden, Slovenia, Czechia, Spain, and Portugal), helped Fernandez-Hermida et al (2013) show that parents’ underestimation (79.1%) of their children’s access to and consumption of substances, is a risk factor associated with consumption.…”

Rationale: Addiction prevention is a major public health problem, particularly concerning young people. Despite the consensus that primary prevention is essential, the evaluation of its impact is questioned.Objective: The objective of this paper is to assess the latest knowledge of addiction prevention programs for young people.Method: Review a collection of research articles using a keyword-based search on three databases: Pubmed, Eric, and PsycInfo. The research was carried out using three groups of keywords and the eligibility study was completed using two criteria: articles published between 2010 and 2017, and articles in refereed journals.Results: Of a total of 13,720 articles in the three databases, 32 studies were included in the review and listed in a grid with five themes: authors, type of population, total population, addictive behavior, and results. Four categories were created based on the objective of the studies: the evaluation of prevention strategies, the study of risk factors for consumption, the prevalence study and other subjects studied. The analysis of the corpus was used to establish a list of risk factors to be taken into consideration in future interventions and research. A list of key elements for performing effective interventions and future research is also proposed.Conclusion: The understanding of the prevention strategies implementation process is discussed as a central element for future research, which will combine stakeholders and researchers. The complexity of the situations and the multifactorial aspects of addiction prevention in young people require a multidisciplinary approach involving the various stakeholders and researchers.

“…(1) Biological and physiological factors, (nicotine has been noted as more addictive than alcohol, marijuana and cocaine [5]); (2) Socio-demographic factors (relapse is more likely in e.g. smokers with an earlier initiation age [6], smokers with a lower socio-economical status [7], or smokers who live with other smokers [8]); and (3) Psychiatric factors (especially the presence of comorbidities such as depression [9] or another drug abuse problem [6]).…”

“…Previous literature has evidently shown that parents across countries are often unaware of their adolescents' involvement in substances ( Ahern, Kemppainen, & Thacker, 2016 ; Bogenschneider, Wu, Raffaelli, & Tsay, 1998 ; Bylund, Imes, & Baxter, 2005 ; a Taiwanese study, see Chang, Lee, Miao, et al, 2013 ; a cross-national study, see Fernandez-Hermida, Becoña, Secades-Villa, Juan, & Sumnall, 2013 ; Fisher, Bucholz, Reich, et al, 2006 ; Green et al, 2011 ; Jones et al, 2017 ; Langhinrichsen, Lichtenstein, Seeley, et al, 1990 ; McGillicuddy, Rychtarik, Morsheimer, & Burke-Storer, 2007 ; a Canadian study, see Williams, McDermitt, Bertrand, & Davis, 2003 ; Yang, Stanton, Cottrel, et al, 2006 ). One may assume that parents who are aware of their deviant behaviors may take appropriate and preventive actions to avoid further misbehaving ( Beck & Lockhart, 1992 ; Kerr, Stattin, & Burk, 2010 ).…”

Parental belief and adolescent smoking and drinking behaviors: A propensity score matching study

This research examines the effects of parental belief on adolescent later smoking and drinking behaviors. Previous studies show that parental belief may have detrimental or beneficial influences on adolescents' behaviors. Analysis is based on Wave 1 and 2 data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health (Add Health), N = 3232, and is conducted using an OLS regression estimation and propensity score matching (PSM; nearest-neighbor and kernel matching). Results show that, of adolescents who used cigarettes and alcohol at Wave 1, they are more likely to continue the activity if their parents were aware of it. Adolescents are also more likely to use cigarettes if their parents believed they smoked when in fact they did not. Of adolescents who did not use alcohol, no significant association is found between parental belief and their later alcohol use. Self-fulfilling prophecy is proposed to explain the effects of parental belief. Results obtained from PSM show weaker effects of parental belief, suggesting that part of the effects is explained by shared factors which are responsible for the belief and adolescent substance use. Adolescent concealment is proposed as an important unobserved confounder that influences the association between parental belief and adolescent substance use. The study suggests that research on parent-adolescent communication affected by the self-fulfilling prophecy needs to consider adolescents' intentional concealment, which may help avoid conflicts elicited by discussing topics that adolescents feel uncomfortable confiding in.
