There is a high prevalence rate of co-occurring alcohol use and mental health problems in young people. This is associated with adverse outcomes and poses a substantial public health concern. We identified and synthesized evidence on the effectiveness of family-involved interventions in reducing alcohol use and mental health problems in young people aged 12–17. Seven databases were searched from inception to January 2023. Data from 19 articles reporting on 14 trials were pooled through random-effects meta-analysis for each outcome using Review Manager 5.3. Pooled estimates resulted in non-significant findings for alcohol use (SMD −0.60; 95% CI −1.63 to 0.42; p = 0.25; 6 trials; 537 participants), internalizing symptoms (SMD −0.13; 95% CI −0.37 to 0.10; p = 0.27), externalizing symptoms (SMD −0.26; 95% CI −0.66 to 0.15; p = 0.22) and substance use (SMD −0.33; 95% CI −0.72 to 0.06; p = 0.10). In contrast, significant intervention effects were identified for the mechanism of change, family conflict (SMD −0.30; 95% CI −0.51 to −0.09; p = 0.005). Consequently, addressing family functioning may not be sufficient in reducing co-occurring alcohol use and mental health problems. Non-significant intervention effects could be due to a lack of content addressing the relationship between alcohol use and mental health problems. Future intervention development could explore whether to incorporate such content and how best to involve the family.

“…Children of different ages can encounter different issues. Although very young children require constant care, teenagers encounter issues of school adjustment and achievement, of increasing independence and need for self-control, of social acceptance outside the family, and of emerging identity development, for example (Coelho et al , 2017; Farley and Kim-Spoon, 2017; Martin et al , 2017; Newcomb-Anjo et al , 2017; Perry-Parrish et al , 2017; Seider et al , 2017; Tucker et al , 2017). All of these can impact their families as it is often incumbent upon them to try to help the child with these issues.…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine work-to-family conflict and family-to-work conflict, taking into account generational cohort and life cycle stage differences. Design/methodology/approach Survey participants (428 employed individuals with families) represented different generations and life cycles. Key variables were work/family characteristics and centrality, work-family and family-work conflict, and age. Findings Generational differences in both directions were found. Gen X-ers reported the most work-family conflict, followed by Millennials and then Baby Boomers. Baby Boomers exhibited family-work conflict the most, followed by Gen X-ers, and then Millennials, a surprising finding given generational stereotypes. Some of these differences remained after controlling for children in the household (based on life cycle stage theory) and age. Millennials were highest in work centrality, whereas Baby Boomers were highest in family centrality. Employees with children ages 13-18 reported the most work-family conflict, and employees with children under the age of six reported the most family-work conflict. Research limitations/implications This study found that generation and children in the household make a difference in work-family conflict, but it did not support some of the common generational stereotypes. Future studies should use a time-lag technique to study generational differences. To reduce work-family conflict, it is important to consider its directionality, which varies across generations and life cycle stages. Practical implications This informs organizations on how to tailor interventions to help employees balance work/life demands. Originality/value This study is the first to simultaneously examine both generation and life cycle stage (children in the household) in regard to work-family conflict.

“…For adults, there is a need to increase emphasis on reducing parent-child conflict and provide financial support. Parenting skills training, parent-child communication, and mediation FAMILY RESILIENCE IN ADULTS AND OLDER ADULTS strategies could be disseminated (Tucker et al, 2017). Other support may include providing information regarding how to access online resources and counseling services for parents to better manage their own distress (Hussong et al, 2021).…”

Introduction: Based on an ecological model of resilience, this study aimed to identify common and differential ecological risk and protective factors influencing the psychological health of general adult population (aged 18–60) and older adults (older than 60) in Hong Kong during the COVID-19 pandemic. Method: A population-based random telephone survey was conducted in 2020, and 877 respondents in Hong Kong (308 older adults, i.e., older than 60; 569 adults, i.e., aged 18–60) were interviewed. Multiple group structural equation modeling was used to examine the proposed model. Results: Chinese older adults in Hong Kong reported significantly lower levels of psychological distress than adults, and no difference in levels of family functioning was evident between the two groups. Community resources and family functioning served as important protectors for both groups. Parent–child conflicts were a significant mediator between COVID-19 stressors and psychological distress for adults only, while a decreasing level of outdoor family leisure served as a significant mediator for older adults only. Discussion: The findings highlighted the importance of providing family- and community-based mental health services for Chinese people facing a public health crisis such as COVID-19 in Hong Kong. Mental health services designed for adult and older adult family members should emphasize different components.
