“…Six items assessing parental monitoring were selected from a survey of parenting practices related to teen drinking (Beck et al, 1995). Three items evaluated whether parents had rules related to alcohol use and three items evaluated parental enforcement of rules in response to hypothetical situations, including: teen wants to attend an alcohol party; teen returns home with alcohol on his/her breath; and teen needs a ride because he/she is too intoxicated to drive.…”

Objective The primary aim of this study was to identify distinct classes of trajectories of adolescent substance use following a brief motivational interviewing (MI) intervention in an Emergency Department (ED). The secondary aim was to identify predictors of class membership. Methods Latent growth mixture modeling was used with 177 adolescents who participated in two randomized clinical trials evaluating MI for an alcohol-related event. Results Three classes were identified: (1) moderate use, decreasers consisting of 56.8% of participants; (2) heavy use, decreasers, consisting of 10.5% of participants, and (3) heavy use sustainers, consisting of 32.7% of participants. Hispanic ethnicity, parental monitoring, and days of high-volume drinking were significant predictors of class membership. Hispanic ethnic status and high levels of parental monitoring were associated with decreased likelihood of belonging to either of the two heavy use classes. More frequent high-volume drinking at baseline was associated with increased likelihood of belonging to the heavy use, sustainer class, and decreased likelihood of belonging to the heavy use, decreaser class. Across all three classes, being female and having frequent high-volume drinking at baseline were associated with worse response to the intervention. Conclusions These findings have important implications for identifying adolescents who may benefit from different or additional intervention, and for anticipating and informing families of adolescents’ potential drinking course following treatment.

“…This scale was adapted from a 14 item instrument developed by Beck, Scaffa, Swift, and Ko (1995), measuring the prevalence and acceptability of teenage drinking in the community, whether or not adults provided alcohol to teenagers, and awareness of problem drinking behaviors among adults. Sample items included “Do you know anyone (of any age) in this community who was killed or injured in a drunk driving accident?” and “Do you know of parents or adults who let non-family members under 21 consume alcohol in their home?” This survey was originally developed for adults, and four items were selected for adolescents.…”

Although research has identified numerous neighborhood mechanisms influencing urban adolescent risk behaviors, less is known about how community contexts influence rural adolescents. This study explores perceived controls against adolescent drinking (i.e., tolerance of community adolescent alcohol use), adolescent perceptions of community supportiveness, and the prevalence of community alcohol use exhibited by adolescents and adults. Multilevel analyses were applied to 1,424 6th through 8th grade students residing in 22 rural communities in the Northern Plains. Perceptions of tolerance, prevalence, and support from 790 parents, teachers, and community leaders were also collected. Analyses revealed that community supportiveness and controls against drinking reduced both the decision to try alcohol and past month use among early adolescents. Adolescents were more likely to have ever tried alcohol if they lived in a community with higher peer prevalence than higher levels of adult alcohol prevalence, but in communities where peer drinking was lower; adolescents were more likely to have tried alcohol if they lived in a high adult-prevalence community. Perceived peer drinking was not related to past month use.

“…Prevalence of adolescent alcohol in community This variable was measured by a scale adapted from a 14‐item instrument, 20 assessing the prevalence and acceptability of teenage drinking in the community, whether or not adults provided alcohol to teenagers, and policies for controlling adolescent drinking. As this survey was developed for adults and was designed for use by both parents and nonparents, many items were not applicable for adolescents.…”
