“…Our exclusion criteria, and the factors we controlled for in our model, should have eliminated most of the differences among the various groups of people included in our model, but uncontrolled variables determining both resources and outcomes may have remained. People who have antisocial personality characteristics are also likely to drink in large amounts, [42][43][44] making causal interpretations difficult because of possible confounding of characteristics of people most likely to be violent with the circumstances under which they drink and become violent. Neither personality characteristics nor circumstances can explain alcoholrelated violence without consideration of the purposes served by drinking and the properties of alcohol in relation to violence.…”

ⅷ Objective To examine the contribution of employment status, welfare benefits, alcohol use, and other individual and contextual factors to physical aggression during marital conflict. ⅷ Methods Logistic regression models were used to analyze panel data collected in the National Survey of Families and Households in 1987 and1992. A total of 4,780 married or cohabiting persons reinterviewed in 1992 were included in the analysis. Domestic violence was defined as reporting that both partners were physically violent during arguments. ⅷ Results Unemployed respondents are not at greater risk of family violence than employed respondents, after alcohol misuse, income, education, age, and other factors are controlled for; however, employed persons receiving welfare benefits are at significantly higher risk. Alcohol misuse, which remains a predictor of violence even after other factors are controlled for, increases the risk of family violence, and satisfaction with social support from family and friends is associated with its decrease. ⅷ Conclusions Alcohol misuse has an important effect on domestic violence, and the potential impact of welfare reform on domestic violence needs to be monitored.

“…According to research evidence, they have an odds ratio for showing own substance problems in the course of their life ranging from 2.4 (Ulrich et al, 2010) to six (Grant, 2000), depending on the study. This is highlighted by a variety of early warning signs: COA's show an earlier age of onset for alcohol consumption than their peers (Rothman, Edwards, Heeren, & Hingson, 2008), get drunk earlier in life (McKenna & Pickens, 1981), and report a higher frequency of binge drinking episodes (Weitzman & Wechsler, 2000). Even though more research is needed on the exact reasons for children of substance-using parents developing own substance use problems, several contributing factors emerge.…”

RESUMEN: Introducción. Hijos de familias drogodependientes pone de manifiesto que existe un elevado riesgo de que los niños desarrollen sus propios trastornos relacionados con las drogas u otros problemas mentales. Sufren a menudo violencia, malos tratos y abandono en sus familias. Por ello constituyen un objetivo importante de los programas de prevención. En Alemania se calcula que aproximadamente 2,65 millones de niños y jóvenes se ven afectados por el consumo o dependencia de las drogas de sus padres. Tan sólo un 10% de ellos reciben tratamiento a la vez que sus padres. Hasta la fecha, no existe en Alemania ningún programa evaluado para hijos de familias afectadas por las drogas. Métodos: se desarrolló una nueva intervención grupal para hijos de familias con problemas de drogas y actualmente se está evaluando en un estudio aleatorio-controlado en múltiples centros financiado por el Ministerio de Sanidad alemán. El proceso de desarrollo se orientó simultáneamente en la teoría, los datos de investigación existentes y los informes de expertos. Uno de los objetivos clave del programa es fomentar la resiliancia en los hijos de padres drogodependientes. Resultados: el manual TRAMPOLINE expone un programa grupal modular de 9 sesiones, centrado en la adicción, para niños de 8 a 12 años con al menos un progenitor que consume drogas. Las sesiones semanales duran 90 minutos y combinan elementos psicopedagógicos con ejercicios y juegos de rol. Asimismo se integra en el programa un componente de intervención con los padres de dos sesiones. Se exponen el contenido, la estructura y los fundamentos teóricos de la intervención. Discusión: TRAM-POLINE es un nuevo planteamiento de intervención que se dirige a los hijos de familias drogodependientes. Se basa en la teoría y la práctica. Los resultados del estudio ofrecerán información crucial sobre la eficacia trabajar con hijos de familias afectadas por toxicodependencias: la intervención grupal comunitaria trampoline [ 67 ] sips -pedagogia social. revista interuniversitaria [1139-1723 (2013)

“…Familial clustering of these traits may offer several lines of evidence predisposing genetic and environmental factors, including: (a) high rates of character disorder in the first degree relatives of alcoholics (Amark, 1951; Bleular, 1955), (b) a higher incidence of familial alcoholism in military men with antisocial behaviour and more severe alcoholism (Frances et al, 1980), (c) a higher incidence of aggressiveness in the fathers of criminal alcoholics (McCord, 1981), (d) a younger age of onset and greater legal problems in familial alcoholism, particularly if both parents were alcoholics (McKenna and Pickens, 1981;Schuckit, 1984), (e) a family history of alcoholism, in males, was associated with earlier onset, greater severity, and antisocial behaviour in a large sample of hospitalised alcoholics (Latcham, 1985), (f) an A/B typology (Babor et al, 1992), with type B resembling strongly the Type II alcohol of Cloninger (cf., Cloninger et al, 1981;Cloninger, 1987;Schuckit and Irwin, 1989), as well as the further clustering evidence reinforcing personalitysubstance abuse interactions (Litt et al, 1992). For example, in families with a substance-abusing father, there was a significant correlation between parental disruptive behaviour (whether as child or adult) and similar behaviour in 10-12 year-old sons (Majumder et al, 1998).…”

Gene-environment interplay in alcoholism and other substance abuse disorders: Expressions of heritability and factors influencing vulnerabilities

Factors that confer predisposition and vulnerability for alcoholism and other substance abuse disorders may be described usefully within the gene-environment interplay framework. Thus, it is postulated that heritability provides a major contribution not only to alcohol but also to other substances of abuse. Studies of evoked potential amplitude reduction have provided a highly suitable and testable method for the assessment of both environmentally-determined and heritable characteristics pertaining to substance use and dependence. The different personal attributes that may co-exist with parental influence or exist in a shared, monozygotic relationship contribute to the final expression of addiction. In this connection, it appears that personality disorders are highly prevalent co-morbid conditions among addicted individuals, and, this co-morbidity is likely to be accounted for by multiple complex etiological relationships, not least in adolescent individuals. Co-morbidity associated with deficient executive functioning may be observed too in alcohol-related aggressiveness and crimes of violence. The successful intervention into alcohol dependence and craving brought about by baclofen in both human and animal studies elucidates glutamatergic mechanisms in alcoholism whereas the role of the dopamine transporter, in conjunction with both the noradrenergic and serotonergic transporters, are implicated in cocaine dependence and craving. The role of the cannabinoids in ontogeny through an influence upon the expression of key genes for the development of neurotransmitter systems must be considered. Finally, the particular form of behaviour/characteristic outcome due to childhood circumstance may lie with biological, gene-based determinants, for example individual characteristics of monoamine oxidase (MAO) activity levels, thereby rendering simple predictive measures both redundant and misguiding.
