“…Positive familial relationship, high family cohesion, interdependence for daily activities and proximity among their members are values that strengthen and blind them from adversities (Cuellar, Arnold, & Gonzales, 1995;Romero & Ruiz, 2007;Sabogal, Marin, Otero-Sabogal, Marin, & PerezStable, 1987). Many studies reported the inverse relation between ''familism'' and youth alcohol abuse (Gil, Wagner, & Vega, 2000) showing the need of further research on characteristics of behavior of family patterns and parenting of adolescent under substance abuse situation.…”

Alcohol consumption prevalence in Bolivia is one of the highest in the region and the most degrading practices faced by the society. To apply the changes, social policy makers require objective, accurate, and complete information about the factors that could be considered both guards and risky. Hence, links between socio-demographics, family, personal/behavioral and social variables and youth alcohol use were analyzed in order to know their particular contributions to the explanation of drinking behavior. The study was carried out with a sample of 1,023 young students (13---23 years old), of both sexes (515 male and 508 female) recruited from local high schools and university initial undergraduate courses. The results showed strong ties between such variables and adolescent alcohol drinking behavior. The predictive model (linear regression model) fitted relatively well including variables such as age, parental monitoring, father---adolescent relationship, peer pressure, antisocial behavior and risk perception. Nevertheless, only social and parental variables proved a good fit with the empirical data when a theoretical model was proposed through a structured equation modeling. Although this model seems to be in good shape, it should be adjusted to a more comprehensive approach to a risk/protection conceptual framework.Factores de riesgo; Factores de protección; Uso de alcohol; Modelo predictivo; Modelo teórico Consumo de Alcohol en la juventud: factores asociados de riesgo y protección Resumen La prevalencia de consumo de alcohol en Bolivia es una de las más altas en la región y una de las prácticas más degradantes que enfrenta la sociedad. Para realizar cambios duraderos, los formuladores de políticas sociales requieren información objetiva, exacta y completa sobre los factores de riesgo y protección de este problema. Por lo tanto, se analizaron los vínculos entre algunas variables socio-demográficas, familiares, personales y sociales con el comportamiento de consumo de alcohol.

“…Most of these chapters are based on articles which have been published, are currently under review or consideration for publication. (Romero and Ruiz 2007). Weak family systems tend to promote individuality (Reher 1998).…”

“…Strong family regions are characterized by the family having priority over the individual (Reher 1998). In addition, in close-knit types of families parents control over their offspring's behaviour is more effective (Granovetter 2005: 34;Lorimer 1954: 247), while this control has been observed more authoritarian (Romero and Ruiz 2007). Based on differences in social relationships and parents' control over resources, strong and weak family systems likely vary by the degree to which individuals perceive that their fertility behaviours are based on their own decisions.…”

“…Previous research suggests that the effects of sociological and genetic factors on In contrast, in strong family regions, such as Sicily in Italy, social bonds between kin members are close (Reher 1998: 203; and parental monitoring of children's behaviour appears more authoritarian (Romero and Ruiz 2007). Children often depend more and longer on familial support, and the production of welfare is generally regarded as a family obligation (Caldwell 1978: 557-558 Consequently, children's choices on fertility behaviour are more constrained in strong family regions than in weak family regions and are less related to socialization and genetic influences (Udry 1996: 335;Kohler, Rodgers and Christensen 1999: 268;Van Bavel and Kok 2009: 357).…”

“…The larger difference between ideal and realized family size in especially the strong family countries seems to be explained by the fact that the closer kin relationships in strong family countries result in an environment in which the behavior of children is more effectively controlled (Granovetter 2005: 34, 39-40;Dalla-Zuanna 2004;Romero and Ruiz 2007;Lorimer 1954: 247). Given the organization of the welfare state, in which families often function as providers of welfare and social support (Hilgeman and Butts 2009: 107), in strong family countries, high fertility impacts people's standard of living stronger and is less influenced by the welfare state than in democratic welfare state regimes (EspingAndersen 1999).…”

Adolescence is a time of significant social, emotional, and cognitive change. This chapter will review the literature on neurobiological changes that underlie these behaviors. We begin by operationalizing adolescence, then review how the conceptual frameworks and empirical studies in the field of developmental cognitive neuroscience have contributed to understanding this important developmental window and conclude by discussing the translational value of the basic science and implications for real‐world applicability.
