Abstract
This chapter reviews the research evidence concerning relations between parent substance use and substance use disorder and child physical and mental health outcomes. We discuss methodological issues in the literature and review major theoretical biopsychosocial mechanisms thought to explain these effects. These mechanisms include fetal exposure, temperament and gene-environment interplay, parenting (both general and specific to substance use), and early adversity. We conclude with a consideration of protective factors and directions for future research.
