“…The literature on parental influences on adolescents' use of alcohol strongly supports the notion that parenting quality matters. Specifically, there is ample evidence that weak parental monitoring, lax rule-setting, little emotional support and a compromised parent-child relationship are predictive of early and/or heavy adolescent drinking [23][24][25][26][27][28]. Parents' permissiveness towards alcohol use by their teenage offspring-in terms of approval, lack of restrictions and supply of alcohol-are also well-documented risk factors [23][24][25]27].…”

Moreover, a fairly large literature shows that parental drinking is associated with adolescent drinking [23,24,29], although the evidence is insufficient to warrant causal inferences [29].…”

“…Adolescents become acquainted with the substance and encouraged to use substances by peers (Bahr, Hoffmann, & Yang, 2005). Very few adolescents who their friends did not use substances, go to the substance use (Palmqvist & Santavirta, 2006;Ahlstrom, 2002). Relationships with peers, who are oblivious to the social norms of substance use, not only increase access to substance, but also provide an environment that has values and beliefs consistent with the substance use.…”

Objective: In all societies, adolescents are the most vulnerable age group to addiction. Decision-making styles and attitude toward substances can play an important role in the tendency of adolescents to addiction.The aim of the current study was to investigate the role of decision-making styles and attitude toward substances in predicting the potential addiction among adolescents. Methods:In this descriptive study, a total of 546 adolescents participated from different high schools in Lorestan Province, Iran that were selected through multiple cluster sampling method. The participants were asked to complete different questionnaires of demographic characteristics, decision-making styles, attitude toward substance, and potential addiction. The obtained data were analyzed through SPSS 16. The Pearson correlation coefficient and regression analysis were used for determining the relationships between the study variables. Results:The results of the study indicated that general attitude; beliefs; emotions; readiness for action; avoidant, spontaneous and dependent decision-making styles have significant positive correlations with potential addiction. While potential addiction is correlated negatively with rational and intuitive decision-making styles. Also, the results of regression analysis showed that potential addiction is predictable by the components of the decision-making styles and attitude toward substances. Multiple regression analysis indicated that components of the decision-making styles and attitude toward substances significantly predicted 25.1% and 20.7% of the variance of potential addiction, respectively. Conclusion:The results of this study showed that decision-making styles and attitude toward substance can explain a high degree of variability to potential addiction among adolescents. Accordingly, teaching rational decision-making style and negative attitudes to substances may lead to improvements in the prevention and treatment of addiction in adolescents.

“…Pape et al (2015) found an inverse association between the frequency of drinking with parents and indicators for parenting quality, yet few other studies have assessed such parental correlates of DWP. There is, however, solid evidence that both general and alcohol-related parenting impact on the risk of excessive use of alcohol by youth (Ahlström, 2002;Kaynak et al, 2014;Ryan et al, 2010;van der Vorst, 2012;Ward & Snow, 2010;Yap et al, 2017). For instance, strict rules against unsupervised drinking and high levels of parental care and support have been identified as protective factors.…”

Aims: Is drinking with parents (DWP) likely to curb or to encourage adolescent heavy drinking? The scant number of studies addressing this issue have arrived at contradictory conclusions, which may reflect that different measures of DWP have been used. We pursued the assumption, taking potential confounding related to parental alcohol-specific rule-setting and parenting style into account. Method: Data stem from the Norwegian 2015 ESPAD survey of 15-16 year olds. Drinking with parents at the last drinking event and the frequency of DWP in the past year were assessed among those who had consumed alcohol (n ¼ 1374). Severe drunkenness and binge drinking in the past month were the outcomes. Parental covariates were accounted for in Poisson regression models. Results: One in five (21%) had been drinking with their parents the last time they consumed alcohol, and this DWP measure was strongly and inversely related to both drunkenness and binge drinking. Adolescents who reported no DWP episodes in the past year (61%) and those who reported 1-2 such episodes (30%) barely differed with respect to the two outcomes. More frequent DWP (9%) was significantly associated with an increased risk of heavy episodic drinking, but the statistical impact on severe drunkenness was no longer significant when adjusting for parental covariates. Conclusions: Different measures of DWP were related differently to adolescent heavy drinking, indicating that studies based on DWP at the last drinking
