“…Additionally, familismo -or the centrality of family that tends to characterize Latino cultures -is associated with reduced risk of substance use, including inhalant initiation (Ober et al, 2013). Conversely, poor family functioning and family problems are risk factors associated with the use of inhalants and other substances (Best et al, 2014;McGarvey, Canterbury, & Waite, 1996).…”

This article presents the effects of a synchronized Latino youth/parent intervention on adolescent inhalant use. The analytic sample included only Latino adolescents (N=487) between the ages of 12 and 14. Randomized at the school-level, the design included three possible conditions: 1) child and parent received the prevention interventions, 2) only the parent received the prevention intervention, 3) neither child or parent received the prevention interventions. Drawing from the ecodevelopmental perspective, the overall hypothesis was that youth randomly assigned to the condition with both interventions will report the strongest inhalant use prevention outcomes. Descriptive statistics and regression tests of significant group differences by treatment condition confirmed the overall hypothesis. Children receiving the youth intervention and whose parents received the synchronized parenting intervention reported the strongest desired inhalant prevention effects. The findings are interpreted from an ecodevelopmental perspective and implications for practice, policy and future research are discussed.

“…Single-generation studies have demonstrated that family conflict is associated with numerous problematic outcomes that span internalizing, externalizing, and substance use symptom clusters and persist from adolescence into adulthood (Cummings & Schatz, 2012). For instance, multiple longitudinal studies have demonstrated that high family conflict prospectively predicts elevations in depression and anxiety (Cummings & Schatz, 2012; Jaycox & Repetti, 1993), aggressive and antisocial behavior (e.g., Kimonis, Frick, & McMahon, 2014), and substance misuse (Best et al, 2014) in childhood (Kouros & Garber, 2014) and adulthood (Herrenkohl, Lee, Kosterman, & Hawkins, 2012). Consistent with a potential causal role of family conflict, empirically supported interventions targeting family conflict have reduced externalizing (McMahon & Forehand, 2003), internalizing (Chase & Eyberg, 2008), and substance use (Best et al, 2014) symptoms in children.…”

The present study investigated the associations between multigenerational continuity in family conflict and current psychopathology symptoms and social impairment experienced by parents and adolescents. We sampled 246 families from a multigenerational, high-risk, longitudinal study of parents (G1s) and their children (G2s), followed from adolescence (age M = 14.3, 57% female, 71% Caucasian, 26% Hispanic/Latino) to adulthood as well as the children of G2 targets (G3s; age M = 12.1 years, 47% female, 51% Caucasian 33% Hispanic/Latino). Family conflict was measured by composite latent variables incorporating mother, father, and adolescent reports in G1–G2 families and incorporating G2 target, G2 target’s spouse, and G3 adolescent report in G2–G3 families. Indicators of G2 and G3 impairment including psychopathology symptoms (e.g., internalizing, externalizing, and substance use symptoms) and social role impairment (e.g., marital satisfaction, parenting behavior) were predicted from G1–G2 family conflict, G2–G3 family conflict, and the interaction between G1–G2 and G2–G3 family conflict. Results indicate that G1–G2 family conflict uniquely predicted indicators of G2 and G3 psychopathology, and G2 social impairment, even after controlling for more temporally proximal G2–G3 family conflict. Results further indicate that for G2 externalizing, internalizing, and marital functioning outcomes, high G2–G3 family conflict was associated with highest G2 impairment when G1–G2 family conflict was also high. It appears for many G2 outcomes, the interactive effects of multigenerational conflict are associated with greater risk for impairment.
