“…However, alcohol supply was strongly linked to any alcohol–related harms and the severity of alcohol use disorder in Thai seventh-grade middle school students who had drank alcohol beverage in the previous 12 months. Peer influence had a major effect on adolescent drinking, according to previous research, due to friend selection, peer network dynamics, and unsupervised time with peers [ 19 , 29 , 30 ]. Adolescents who acquired alcohol from sources other than their parents were more likely to report alcohol–related problem behaviors, according to a previous worldwide study [ 18 ].…”

Association of supply sources of alcohol and alcohol-related harms in adolescent drinkers: the baseline characteristics of a high school cohort across Thailand

Background The main objective of this study was to investigate the association between parental supply of alcohol, alcohol–related harms, and the severity of alcohol use disorder in Thai 7th grade middle school students. Methods A cross–sectional descriptive study obtained the baseline data from the project named the Thailand Parental Supply and Use of Alcohol, Cigarettes & Drugs Longitudinal Study Cohort in Secondary School Students in 2018. The sample size was 1187 students who have ever sipped or drank alcohol in the past 12 months. Pearson’s Chi square, binary logistic regression, and ordinal logistic regression are applied in the analysis. Results A single source of parental supply is not significantly associated with any alcohol-related harm and the severity of alcohol use disorder, while parental supply with peers and siblings supply of alcohol plays an important role in both outcomes. The increasing number of sources of alcohol supply increases the risk of alcohol–related harm and the severity of alcohol use disorder. Other risk factors found in both associations included binge drinking, alcohol flushing, low household economic status, distance from the student’s family, and poor academic performance. Gender, exposure to alcohol ads on social media and location of residency were not associated with alcohol–related harms or severity of alcohol use disorder. Conclusions The results did not support parental guidance in teaching or giving children a drink or sip of alcohol within family to prevent related harms when drinking outside with their peers.

“…Descriptive norms exhibit a powerful, positive association with adolescents' own self-reported alcohol use (e.g., Capaldi et al, 2009), likely due to both peer influence and homophily (i.e., the tendency for youth who use alcohol to befriend other youth who also use alcohol) (e.g., Patrick et al, 2014). Promoting prosocial friend selection and altering descriptive norms may therefore reduce risk of adolescent HED (Brooks-Russell et al, 2014;Hoeben et al, 2021;Patrick et al, 2014). Existing evidence-based interventions have been successful at delaying alcohol use age at onset (Hawkins et al, 1992), correcting overestimates of normative perceptions about alcohol use (Faggiano et al, 2010;Lewis & Neighbors, 2006), and promoting pro-social friend selection and interpersonal skills for addressing peer influences on alcohol use (Faggiano et al, 2010;Hawkins et al, 1992).…”

Heavy episodic drinking in adolescence and alcohol-related problems in adulthood: A developmental approach to alcohol use across the life course

et al. 2022

Heavy episodic drinking (HED) is a major public health concern, and youth who engage in HED are at increased risk for alcohol-related problems that continue into adulthood. Importantly, there is heterogeneity in the onset and course of adolescent HED, as youth exhibit different trajectories of initiation and progression into heavy drinking. Much of what is known about the etiology of adolescent HED and alcohol-related problems that persist into adulthood comes from studies of predominantly White, middle-class youth. Because alcohol use and related problems vary by race/ethnicity and socioeconomic status, it is unclear whether previous findings are relevant for understanding developmental antecedents and distal consequences of adolescent HED for minoritized individuals. In the current study, we utilize a developmental psychopathology perspective to fill this gap in the literature. Using a racially and economically diverse cohort followed from adolescence well into adulthood, we apply group-based trajectory modeling (GBTM) to identify patterns of involvement in HED from age 14 to 17 years. We then investigate developmental antecedents of GBTM class membership, and alcohol-related distal outcomes in adulthood (∼ age 31 years) associated with GBTM class membership. Results highlight the importance of adolescent alcohol use in predicting future alcohol use in adulthood.
