“…This increase in resemblance for alcohol use coincides with the age when offspring are both initiating alcohol use and living with their parents. This may be a maximal time in which they are modeling parental behaviors and would be consistent with prior research (Armstrong et al, 2013;Koning et al, 2010;Latendresse et al, 2008). There were no significant differences in the parent-offspring correlations from age 17 to age 24, followed by a significant decrease in resemblance at age 29.…”

“…Of additional importance is whether parental alcohol use and problems are related to offspring alcohol use. Parental alcohol use has been shown to predict the onset of and overall offspring alcohol use (Alati et al, 2014;Armstrong et al, 2013;Brook et al, 2010;Kelly et al, 2011;Latendresse et al, 2008;Shortt et al, 2007), whereas parental alcohol problems have been shown to predict both alcohol use and problems in offspring (Kendler et al, 2013;Latendresse et al, 2008). There is some inconsistency in these findings, however, depending on offspring age, suggesting that the association of offspring alcohol use and problems with respective parental measures may increase across adolescent development (Kendler et al, 2013;Latendresse et al, 2008).…”

“…There is some inconsistency in these findings, however, depending on offspring age, suggesting that the association of offspring alcohol use and problems with respective parental measures may increase across adolescent development (Kendler et al, 2013;Latendresse et al, 2008). Koning et al (2010) found that parental alcohol use was not associated with offspring alcohol use in early adolescence (mean age of 12.6 years), whereas studies finding a significant association include an offspring sample in middle to late adolescence (Armstrong et al, 2013;Latendresse et al, 2008). There is, however, a dearth of research evaluating how this pattern changes from adolescence to adulthood.…”

ABSTRACT. Objective:The purpose of the current study was to evaluate parent-offspring resemblance for alcohol consumption and dependence symptoms, including sex-specific effects, and how these patterns change across adolescence and early adulthood. Method: Three cohorts of twins were assessed longitudinally at five time points between ages 14 and 29 years, with parents directly assessed at intake, using structured interviews. Twin offspring and parents from the population-based Minnesota Twin Family Study were included for a total sample size of 3,762 offspring (52% female) and their parents. Alcohol use was measured using an index based on drinking quantity, frequency, maximum drinks, and number of intoxications. Alcohol dependence symptom counts were also used. Results: Parent-offspring correlations for alcohol consumption increased from age 14 (r = .12) to age 17 (r = .25), remained stable from ages 17 through 24, and then decreased slightly by age 29 (r = .19). Familial resemblance for symptoms of alcohol dependence peaked at age 17 (r = .18) then decreased through age 29 (r = .11). Parent-offspring correlations of both measures did not vary significantly by sex of offspring or sex of parent. Conclusions: Overall, parent-offspring resemblance for alcohol use and problems is relatively stable after early adulthood, with resemblance for alcohol use at higher magnitudes across offspring development. Evidence for differential resemblance based on sex of offspring or parents was lacking. (J. Stud. Alcohol Drugs, 78, 49-58, 2017)

“…However, the match between personality and parenting style has a strong impact on initiation and progression of substance use during adolescence. While effective, “authoritative” parenting is effective overall, the pairing of an impulsive, acting out adolescent and authoritarian rather than authoritative parent is a risk factor which increases the risk of substance abuse by adolescents (Armstrong et al, 2013). Finally, other activities in the life of adolescents have a protective effects, especially engagement in religious activities and sports (Agrawal & Lynskey, 2009; Metzger, Dawes, Mermelstein, & Wakschlag, 2011; Nasim, Belgrave, Jagers, Wilson, & Owens, 2007; Silins et al, 2013) Engagement is sports is especially protective against initiation of smoking (Adachi-Mejia, Gibson Chambers, Li, & Sargent, 2014).…”

Substance use and abuse begins during adolescence. Male and female adolescent humans initiate use at comparable rates, but males increase use faster. In adulthood, more men than women use and abuse addictive drugs. However, some women progress more rapidly from initiation of use to entry into treatment. In animal models, adolescent males and females consume addictive drugs similarly. However, reproductively mature females acquire self-administration faster, and in some models, escalate use more. Sex/gender differences exist in neurobiologic factors mediating both reinforcement (dopamine, opioids) and aversiveness (CRF, dynorphin), as well as intrinsic factors (personality, psychiatric co-morbidities) and extrinsic factors (history of abuse, environment especially peers and family) which influence the progression from initial use to abuse., Many of these important differences emerge during adolescence, and are moderated by sexual differentiation of the brain. Estradiol effects which enhance both dopaminergic and CRF-mediated processes contribute to the female vulnerability to substance use and abuse. Testosterone enhances impulsivity and sensation seeking in both males and females. Several protective factors in females also influence initiation and progression of substance use including hormonal changes of pregnancy as well as greater capacity for self-regulation and lower peak levels of impulsivity/sensation seeking. Same sex peers represent a risk factor more for males than females during adolescence, while romantic partners increase risk for women during this developmental epoch. In summary, biologic factors, psychiatric co-morbidities as well as personality and environment present sex/gender-specific risks as adolescents begin to initiate substance use.

“…A fifth longitudinal study conducted by Armstrong et al (2013) and using the same sample as Burk et al (2011) followed 374 participants from 3.5 years until Grade 12 and modeled alcohol use quantity from Grades 9 to 12 with a quadratic growth curve and the intercept centered at Grade 9. They assessed disinhibition, authoritative parenting and authoritarian parenting in childhood.…”

Both individual and environmental factors predict externalizing behaviors and substance use (EB-SU); however, different patterns of interaction among these factors may have different implications. This review first examines how temperament and the family environment interact in the prediction of adolescent EB-SU. Second, studies are reviewed according to two theoretical models: (1) diathesis-stress, i.e., certain individual characteristics are linked to vulnerability and later problems in adverse environments; (2) differential susceptibility, i.e., these characteristics are linked to susceptibility, predicting problems in adverse environments, but also better than average outcomes in good environments. Fourteen studies focusing on the prediction of EB-SU at ages 12-18 were selected through a literature search. Results showed that certain temperament traits (high levels of impulsivity and disinhibition; low levels of effortful control, negative affect, fearfulness and shyness), hereby designated as "adventurous" disposition, were associated with higher levels of EB-SU in adverse family environments. Some studies also showed that children with "adventurous" temperament traits in positive environments had the lowest levels of EB-SU. This suggests that prevention of EB-SU might target family factors such as parenting and focus on children with "adventurous" temperament traits. Further, studies that supported the differential susceptibility model were those assessing temperament and the family environment in childhood and studies that supported the diathesis-stress model assessed these variables in adolescence. It is thus possible that some of these "adventurous" temperament traits, with regard to EB-SU, would be indicators of susceptibility to both enriched and adverse environments in childhood but no CIHR Author ManuscriptCIHR Author Manuscript CIHR Author Manuscript longer in adolescence, when they would only be indicators of vulnerability to adverse environments. KeywordsDiathesis-stress; Differential susceptibility; Temperament; Family; Externalizing; Moderation Adolescent substance use has several adverse short-and long-term consequences, including addiction, poor academic achievement, sleep disturbances, depression, suicidal behavior, injuries, overdoses, car accidents, teenage pregnancy, sexually transmitted diseases and liver disease (Newbury-Birch et al., 2009;Single, Rehm, Robson, & Van Truong, 2000;Stolle, Sack, & Thomasius, 2009). Correlates of substance use in adolescence include both individual and environmental characteristics (Chartier, Hesselbrock, & Hesselbrock, 2010;Patrick & Schulenberg, 2013). While internalizing problems are more strongly associated with substance use in adulthood (Chan, Dennis, & Funk, 2008;Grant et al., 2004;King, Iacono, & McGue, 2004), a history of externalizing behaviors beginning in early childhood is more likely to be observed in adolescents using substances (Chan et al., 2008;Jester et al., 2008;Pingault et al., 2013;Zucker, Heitzeg, & Nigg, 2011).
