Intergenerational Effects—A Review of Environmentally Oriented Studies Concerning the Relationship between Parental Alcohol Problems and Family Disharmony in the Genesis of Alcohol and Other Problems. I: The Intergenerational Effects of Alcohol Problems
“…While mothers' and fathers' drinking behavior (e.g., Eiden et al, 2002;Keller et al, 2005) and their parenting skills (e.g., Eiden et al, 2002, Keller, Cummings, Davies, & Mitchell, 2008 have been shown to be positively related, these relationships are not perfect. One might expect that when one partner engages in substance use behaviors that could adversely impact their child's functioning, the other partner's parenting could buffer these effects (Brook & Tseng, 1996;Velleman, 1992aVelleman, , 1992b. Some studies that examined the link between parental misuse of alcohol, parenting, and their children's outcomes have either not distinguished between maternal and paternal alcohol misuse, have examined them separately, or have focused solely on paternal use (Burke, Schmied, & Montrose, 2006;Christoffersen & Soothill, 2003;Keller et al, 2005;Miller et al, 1999;Velleman, 1992a).…”
Section: Hypothesized Developmental Pathways Of Influencementioning
This study examined whether parental alcohol use in adolescence, adulthood, and, for mothers, during pregnancy was related to their young children's functioning in terms of their on-time development as indicated by the number of developmental areas in which children experienced delay. Observed parenting practices and family socioeconomic status were tested as potential explanatory mechanisms of these links. Data came from the surveys and videotaped observations of a community sample of 123 biological parents and their 1-5 year old children followed longitudinally. Results suggest that the negative association between parental alcohol use and children's development operates primarily through fathers' alcohol use. Additionally, father's adolescent regular alcohol use predicted the family's low SES, which in turn predicted less-skilled maternal parenting practices and children's developmental delay.

“…For example, they can develop problems such as delinquency, aggression, hyperactivity, truancy and low self-esteem (Velleman, 1992a), as well as learning difficulties, poor reading abilities, poor concentration and unruly behaviour (Knop et al, 1985).…”
Section: Mismatch Between Interventions and Theorymentioning
Considerable drug education activity has taken place over recent years. Yet the use of illicit drugs appears to be increasingly accepted by young users and non-users alike as an integral part of youth culture. There is a need to avoid dogmatic approaches to drug education by not placing undue reliance on any single approach. Moreover, several theoretical and empirical factors need ,to be considered in developing and implementing interventions; including developmental factors, mismatches between theo y and practice, the cultural meanings of dwg use and targeting of interventions; as well as reappraising the putative role of peer pressure and self-esteem deficits. Failure to understand and address the role of such factors impairs the efectiveness of interventions. This paper draws upon published reports, reviews and mefa-analyses of drug educafion evaluations to identijj the implications for delivery of health education through three key channelslsettings-mass media, community and schools.0968-7637/95/030211-14 01995 Journals Oxford Ltd

Children of alcohol and substance misusers are at risk of developing a range of behavioural problems of their own. The aim of this project was to assess the extent to which workers in the field of alcohol and substance misuse problems in the Glasgow area are aware of, and feel able to address, these risk factors. The evidence reported here indicates that workers in the field are aware of potential problems. However, there is also uncertainty about appropriate responses and a desire for training to enhance skills in this area. Locally based`befrienders' projects provide a model for low-key interventions with the potential to provide valuable support and positive socialisation within a structured and safe environment.A significant proportion of young people who grow up in substance-misusing families develop their own alcohol or drug use problems, or problem behaviours such as delinquency, aggression, loss of concentration, hyperactivity, poor school performance and truancy (Velleman, 1992a(Velleman, , 1992b; however, the existence of substance abuse in the family is neither a necessary nor a sufficient cause of problems in children.
