title = "Influence of Parental Alcohol Dependence Symptoms and Parenting on Adolescent Risky Drinking and Conduct Problems: A Family Systems Perspective",
abstract = "Background: Parental alcohol problems are associated with adverse adolescent outcomes such as risky drinking and conduct problems. Important questions remain about the unique roles of fathers{\textquoteright} and mothers{\textquoteright} alcohol problems and differences and/or similarities in pathways of risk across ethnicity and gender. In this study, we used a family systems approach to consider spillover and crossover effects of fathers{\textquoteright} and mothers{\textquoteright} alcohol problems (number of alcohol dependence symptoms [ADS]) and parenting behaviors in relation to adolescents{\textquoteright} risky drinking and conduct problems. Methods: The sample included 1,282 adolescents (aged 12 to 17) and their parents from the Collaborative Study on the Genetics of Alcoholism. Parents completed the Semi-Structured Assessment for the Genetics of Alcoholism (SSAGA), and adolescents completed an adolescent version of SSAGA. Data were analyzed using multivariate structural equation modeling. Results: Fathers{\textquoteright} ADS count was associated with higher adolescent risky drinking and conduct problems indirectly via disruption to fathers{\textquoteright} and mothers{\textquoteright} positive parenting behaviors, whereas mothers{\textquoteright} ADS count was not associated with adolescents{\textquoteright} risky drinking and conduct problems directly or indirectly via positive parenting behaviors. No differences in these associations were found across ethnic background and offspring gender. Conclusions: Findings highlight the importance of considering the unique roles of fathers{\textquoteright} and mothers{\textquoteright} ADS in influencing family processes and adolescent outcomes.",
