“…The results of our study directly support previous studies, in which conflict with parents (i.e., family members) was found to be a strong risk factor for adolescent substance misuse, including cigarette smoking [20,21]. It is logical that more frequent parent-child conflicts put children in out-of-home situations, in which they are in contact with peers who misuse substances and are consequently more vulnerable to substance misuse.…”

Background: Though adolescence is recognised as a critical period for smoking prevention, there is a lack of research focused on this issue in Kosovo. The aim of this study has been to examine the gender-specific factors of influence (predictors) for smoking among adolescents in Pristina, Kosovo. Material and Methods: The study sample comprised 1002 adolescents at the age of 17-18 (366 boys, 636 girls), all of whom were in the school's 12th grade. The predictors included sociodemographic variables, familial (i.e., parental) monitoring, parents' educational background, and sport-related factors. The Chi 2 and forward stepwise logistic regression analyses with a dichotomous criterion (smoking vs. non-smoking) were applied. Results: The incidence of smoking was high (31% and 40% smokers, including 7% and 12% daily smokers for girls and boys, respectively). The regression model revealed more frequent absence from school (odds ratio (OR): 1.544; 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.063-2.243), more unexcused school absences (OR: 1.360; 95% CI: 1.029-1.796), and frequent parental questioning (OR: 1.530; 95% CI: 1.020-2.295) to be significant predictors of smoking among boys. For girls, a higher risk of smoking was associated with lower scholastic achievement (OR: 1.467; 95% CI: 1.089-1.977), more frequent absence from school (OR: 1.565; 95% CI: 1.137-2.155), increased conflict with parents (OR: 1.979; 95% CI: 1.405-2.789), and a self-declared perception of less parental care (OR: 0.602; 95% CI: 0.377-0.962). Sports were not found to be strongly related to smoking. However, a high risk of daily smoking was found among boys who participated in team sports and subsequently quit. Conclusions: This study reinforces the need for gender-and culture-specific approaches to studying the factors that influence smoking among adolescents. Med Pr 2015;66(2):153-163

“…In the U.K., higher levels of parental monitoring were associated with lower levels of violence and conflict, reduced history of alcohol misuse and less liberal attitudes towards alcohol (Moore et al, 2010). Studies examining parent-child relationship in France and the U.K. (Ledoux, Miller, Choquet, & Plant, 2002) and parental monitoring in Slovakia (Bobakova, Geckova, Klein, Reijneveld, & van Dijk, 2012) found an association between increased parental monitoring and decreased alcohol and drug use.…”

Parental monitoring has been described as a protective factor and useful strategy to prevent substance misuse among youths. The aims of this study were to examine whether perceived parental monitoring influences frequency of alcohol use, age of drinking onset and risky drinking among entering public high school and university students in Mexico City. The study is a cross-sectional survey of entering first year students in the high school and university school system of a large public university in Mexico City conducted during registration at the beginning of the school year. In 2008, of 34,840 students accepted to the affiliated high schools, 28,996 students (51.8% female) completed the alcohol survey and of 37,683 students accepted into university 30,084 students (51.5% female) completed the alcohol survey. The findings suggest that compared to students with higher perceived parental monitoring those reporting lower perceived parental monitoring were more likely to report risky behavior. They were more likely to be ever drinkers, frequent drinkers, have earlier age of onset and high AUDIT scores. Overall, higher parental monitoring was strongly associated with being female and lower parental monitoring with being male. Our findings suggest that more research on parental monitoring as a protective strategy against alcohol misuse is needed. Research focusing on cultural factors including gender and age-related norms and familismo would increase knowledge of the association of parental monitoring and alcohol use among Mexican youths, Mexican American youths and potentially youths from other Hispanic backgrounds.

“…La supervisión y el apoyo de los padres es una fortaleza que en varios estudios se reporta como un factor protector del consumo de alcohol y otras sustancias (Abar, Turrisi, & Mallet, 2014;Andrade et al, 2015;Bobakova et al, 2012;Cid-Monckton & Pedrão, 2011;Kaynak et al, 2013;Light et al, 2013;Oman et al, 2004), lo que concuerda con lo encontrado en esta investigación, donde se muestra que la supervisión constante y el interés de los padres por las actividades y los amigos de sus hijos disminuyen el nivel de consumo, en contraste con los jóvenes que perciben que sus padres no les brindan apoyo ni supervisión. Resalta que en este estudio el apoyo y la supervisión del padre no hayan mostrado diferencias entre los jóvenes que han y no han consumido alcohol, lo cual podría explicarse por el hecho de que el apoyo y la supervisión de los padres fueron analizados por separado, mientras que en la mayoría de las investigaciones se evalúan de manera conjunta.…”

“…Con relación a los factores del ámbito familiar, algunos estudios mencionan que los adolescentes que no usan alcohol o que consumen poco presentan mayor comunicación con sus padres (Cid-Monckton & Pedrão, 2011;Oman et al, 2004;Solórzano et al, 2016), más supervisión por parte de ellos y mejores vínculos parentales (Andrade, Sánchez-Xicoténcatl, Demetrio, Gonzá-lez, & Betancourt, 2015;Bobakova, Madarasova, Klein, Reijneveld, & Van Diijk, 2012;Kaynak et al, 2013;Light, Greenan, Rusby, Nies, & Snijders, 2013;Martínez & Robles, 2001), así como menos ingesta de alcohol de los padres (Armendáriz et al, 2014;Bobakova et al, 2012;Espada, Pereira, & García-Fernández, 2008;Glanton & Wulfert, 2013;Handley & Chassin, 2013;Lema, Varela, Duarte, & Bonilla, 2011).…”

Introduction: alcohol consumption in Mexican adolescents is a public health problem, so research efforts should focus on prevention. This study is based on Benson's model of assets (2007), which mention that young people have individual and contextual resources that promote positive development and limit their involvement in risk behavior. Objective: to analyze differences in internal and external assets in high school students with different levels of alcohol consumption. Method: participants were 990 students from public secondary schools in Mexico City, 52.1% female and 47.9% male, the mean age of participants was 13.6 years. Seven internal and seven external assets were evaluated. Results: 53.9% of the participants never consumed alcohol, 28.3% had consumed but never or only once they had abused and 17.8% reported abusing consumption in the last month. Men and women who have not consumed alcohol reported significantly higher scores on internal assets. In the case of external assets, young people who have not consumed alcohol also scored significantly higher in all assets, except for healthy friends in both men and women and support and supervision of the father in men. Discussion and conclusions: the results contribute to the explanation of alcohol consumption among young people and provide elements for the design of interventions to emphasize the assets that should be promoted to prevent young people from drinking alcohol at an early age.
