Title: | Family process and peer influences on substance use by adolescents | Authors: | Loke Yuen, A Mak, YW |
Issue Date: | 27-Aug-2013 | Source: | International journal of environmental research and public health, 27 Aug. 2013, v. 10, no. 9, p. 3868-3885 | Abstract: | This study explores the association of family process and peer influences with risk behaviors of adolescents. A total of 805 students were recruited from secondary schools. The results showed that adolescents who have parents who are “authoritarian” (OR = 1.856) were more likely to smoke. Adolescents who have conflicts with their parents (OR = 1.423) were more likely to drink. Those who have parents who are “permissive” were less likely to drink (OR = 0.885). Having friends who smoked (OR = 5.446) or drank (OR = 1.894), and friends’ invitation to smoke (OR = 10.455) or drink (OR = 11.825) were the dominant contributors to adolescent smoking and drinking. Interventions are needed that recognize the strength of the parent-child relationship, as well as strengthen family functioning through improved interpersonal, parenting, and monitoring skills. | Keywords: | Family structure Family process Parental style Substance use Adolescents |
