“…The items are in a true or false response-scale and ask about adult children's feelings, attitudes, perceptions, and experiences as they relate to their parents' drinking behavior. Havey and Dodd (1995) concluded that the CAST-6 has an almost identical diagnostic function as the 30-item CAST with 93% to 98% stability of classifying COAs. In addition, the CAST mean score was used as a continuous variable to address variation of the effect of parental alcoholism on outcome variables (Vail, Protinsky, & Prouty, 2000).…”

This paper explored the relationships between parental alcoholism, sense of belonging, resilience, and depressive symptoms in Koreans in the U.S. Data from 206 Koreans (Mean age = 28.4 years; 59.8% females) living in a Midwestern state were collected in 2009, using a web-based survey, which included Children of Alcoholic Screening Test, Sense of Belonging Instrument, Connor–Davidson Resilience Scale, and Beck Depression Inventory-II. Path analysis results revealed sense of belonging as the most powerful, and resilience as the second important factor, resisting depressive symptoms associated with parental alcoholism. Implications for practice and research and study limitations are discussed.

“…Significant correlations between child and parent reports of parental drinking in 3 rd –6 th graders have been shown (Smith, Miller, Kroll, Simmons, & Gallen, 1999). In addition, a one-year test-retest reliability of .78 has been documented in a sample of 6 th graders (Havey & Dodd, 1995). Cronbach’s alpha was = .86.…”

“…There are, however, valid arguments for using selfreport measures, both in the case of marital communication (54,81) and in measuring alcohol problems of family members. In fact, this measure of family alcoholism probably errs in missing some alcoholic relatives rather than in the other direction (82)(83)(84)(85). For personal use only.…”

Important trends in research over the past decade indicate that women are as greatly affected by familial alcoholism as are men. Although it is increasingly recognized that the adverse drinking outcomes predicted for adult children of alcoholics (COAs) are not inevitable, and only a small percentage develop alcohol dependence or grow up to be alcoholic, relatively little knowledge exists regarding moderating factors that reduce their vulnerability. This study identifies a multiple mediator latent structural model of the intergenerational transmission of risk for DSM-IV-assessed alcohol abuse and dependence among women COAs in adulthood. The effects of both parental alcoholism and family environment are estimated at three time points spanning 10 years across 5-year intervals (1984, 1989, and 1994) using data from a subsample of 4,449 women in the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (NLSY). Dyadic cohesion in marital communication (greater marital cohesion, harmony, and less verbal disagreement, discord, and conflict) is a proposed moderating factor that may operate in adulthood to lower the risk of female COAs developing alcohol abuse and dependence. Maximum likelihood standardized estimates of the effects of alcohol mediators measured over time indicate that direct parental effects for adverse outcomes decline when COAs are in their late 20s and early 30s. Indirect parental effects through environmental influences dramatically increase the risk of abuse and dependence among COAs at this time if they have one or more alcoholic siblings, especially an alcoholic sister. Dyadic cohesion and positive interpersonal communication patterns were found to moderate effectively the relationship that existed among parental alcoholism, environmental influences, and adverse alcohol consequences. COAs with satisfactory marital communication also evidenced higher levels of intimacy with their partners, perceived the division of housework to be fairer, shared more responsibilities and burdens of the household, and had less conflict over critical domestic issues than other women COAs. The protective benefits of a good marriage against the risks of alcoholism remained when applied to younger and older subjects, across diverse backgrounds, and after adjusting for other factors such as employment status.
