A developmental approach to alcohol drinking behaviour in adulthood: a follow‐up study from age 8 to age 42

Abstract: Aims To study the links of family background, child and adolescent social behaviour, and (mal)adaptation with heavy drinking by age 20 and with the frequency of drinking, binge drinking, Cut-down, Annoyed, Guilt, Eye-opener (CAGE) questionnaire scores and problems due to drinking at ages 27 and 42 years. Design In the Finnish Jyväskylä Longitudinal Study of Personality and Social Development, data have been collected by interviews, inventories and questionnaires. Behavioural data were gathered at ages 8 and 14… Show more

“…Early onset puts children at higher risk for future problematic levels of use of alcohol (Pitkänen et al, 2008;Warner et al, 2007)-as well as other negative consequences (Griffi n et al, 2010)-and is thus a matter of public health signifi cance. It may be important to identify children of polysubstance-using parents for targeted prevention programs and to identify children of substanceusing mothers regardless of father's use levels.…”

“…Thus, there may be an additional risk for onset of alcohol use in offspring (which typically begins before marijuana and other illicit drugs; Kandel, 2002) from parental use of tobacco and marijuana. Understanding such risk is a crucial issue because early onset predicts later problematic use in adulthood (Pitkänen al., 2008;Warner et al, 2007). The present study examines whether use of tobacco and marijuana by fathers or mothers predicts onset of alcohol use in their offspring over and above effects of parental alcohol use.…”

“…and can have serious immediate and longer term consequences, including increased risk of mental health problems, alcohol misuse in adulthood, injury, and death (Committee on Substance Abuse, 2010; Masten et al, 2008;Pitkänen et al, 2008). Previous research has associated negative health outcomes with adolescent alcohol use trajectories (Danielsson et al, 2010;Hill et al, 2000), but more work is needed to examine individual and family risk factors in childhood-and their interactions-as predictors of growth in alcohol consumption across adolescence.…”

“…Heavy drinking was measured at age 27 and indicates the annual frequency of drinking to the point of (severe) intoxication (Pitkänen et al, 2008). This information was coded into five categories: 0 = never, 1 = once a year, 2 = less than once a month, 3 = 1-3 times per month, 4 = once a week,…”

“…Teachers were asked to evaluate items for each participant on a scale from 0 (does not apply) to 3 (typical for the student). Low behavior regulation was computed as an average score across five items (α = .80) describing the child as moody, inattentive, dishonest, disobedient, and prone to joking around to get attention (Pitkänen, Kokko, Lyyra, & Pulkkinen, 2008). In a study of the offspring of the JYLS participants (Lehto, Pulkkinen, & Juujärvi, 2002; see also Pulkkinen, 2017), items of this construct were found to correlate strongly with the 20-item version of the Self-Control Rating Scale (SCRS) developed by Kendall and Wilcox (1979).…”
