A Qualitative Study of the Context of Child and Adolescent Substance Use Initiation and Patterns of Use in the First Year for Early and Later Initiators

This chapter reviews the literature on family, peer, and media influences on alcohol, tobacco, and other drug use among children and adolescents. Parental drinking and drug use are significant predictors of child and adolescent drinking, smoking, and marijuana use. Furthermore, parental substance use is associated with lower quality parenting and family management practices, which are, in turn, associated with greater offspring substance use. In addition, parental substance use and parenting practices are associated with adolescents’ affiliation with substance-using friends. Parental nonuse and effective parenting practices buffer the relation between friends’ modeling of substance use and adolescent offspring substance use. Sibling and friend substance use relate both concurrently and longitudinally to adolescent substance use. Lastly, child and adolescent exposure to alcohol and smoking on television and in films, and to alcohol and cigarette advertising, constitutes a third independent source of modeling and influence on child and adolescent substance use.

This chapter presents a model of parental socialization that summarizes the interrelations among parental modeling of substance use, parent approval, parental monitoring and control, parent–child relationship quality, child cognitions, friends’ substance use, and child/adolescent substance use. Parental alcohol consumption, smoking, and drug use are significant predictors of child and adolescent drinking, smoking, and marijuana use. Parental substance use is associated with lower quality parenting and family management practices and lower quality relationships with offspring, both of which are associated with greater offspring substance use. Parental substance use, parental approval, parenting practices, and relationship quality are associated with adolescents’ affiliation with substance-using friends. Parental non-use, effective parenting practices, and good-quality parent–child relationships buffer the relation between friends’ modeling of substance use and adolescent offspring substance use. The model should facilitate the development of targeted tests of its utility for generating new research on the socialization of adolescent substance use.
