“…Of additional importance is whether parental alcohol use and problems are related to offspring alcohol use. Parental alcohol use has been shown to predict the onset of and overall offspring alcohol use (Alati et al, 2014;Armstrong et al, 2013;Brook et al, 2010;Kelly et al, 2011;Latendresse et al, 2008;Shortt et al, 2007), whereas parental alcohol problems have been shown to predict both alcohol use and problems in offspring (Kendler et al, 2013;Latendresse et al, 2008). There is some inconsistency in these findings, however, depending on offspring age, suggesting that the association of offspring alcohol use and problems with respective parental measures may increase across adolescent development (Kendler et al, 2013;Latendresse et al, 2008).…”

“…Although there are many studies investigating the relationship between parental diagnosis of alcoholism and adolescent offspring drinking (Chassin et al, 1993;Lieb et al, 2002;Poelen et al, 2007), the few studies that have evaluated sex-specific resemblance in parent-offspring drinking patterns have yielded inconsistent results. Kelly et al (2011) assessed adolescent drinking in 6th-grade and 8th-grade offspring, as well as in their parents, and found a complex pattern of differential effects based on age and sex. In contrast to social learning theory (Bandura, 1977), which might expect greater like-sex similarity, younger males' alcohol use was significantly associated with mother's drinking, whereas older males' alcohol use was significantly associated with both parents' alcohol use.…”

ABSTRACT. Objective:The purpose of the current study was to evaluate parent-offspring resemblance for alcohol consumption and dependence symptoms, including sex-specific effects, and how these patterns change across adolescence and early adulthood. Method: Three cohorts of twins were assessed longitudinally at five time points between ages 14 and 29 years, with parents directly assessed at intake, using structured interviews. Twin offspring and parents from the population-based Minnesota Twin Family Study were included for a total sample size of 3,762 offspring (52% female) and their parents. Alcohol use was measured using an index based on drinking quantity, frequency, maximum drinks, and number of intoxications. Alcohol dependence symptom counts were also used. Results: Parent-offspring correlations for alcohol consumption increased from age 14 (r = .12) to age 17 (r = .25), remained stable from ages 17 through 24, and then decreased slightly by age 29 (r = .19). Familial resemblance for symptoms of alcohol dependence peaked at age 17 (r = .18) then decreased through age 29 (r = .11). Parent-offspring correlations of both measures did not vary significantly by sex of offspring or sex of parent. Conclusions: Overall, parent-offspring resemblance for alcohol use and problems is relatively stable after early adulthood, with resemblance for alcohol use at higher magnitudes across offspring development. Evidence for differential resemblance based on sex of offspring or parents was lacking. (J. Stud. Alcohol Drugs, 78, 49-58, 2017)

“…Conversely, negative communication has been linked to higher drug use. More recently, using Australian data, emotional closeness to the opposite-sex parent has been found to be protective (162,163) against the development of high risk behaviours, including problematic alcohol use. These findings have been repeatedly replicated and are the basis for many youth prevention programs (164)(165)(166)(167).…”

Comorbid alcohol and mental health disorders: a longitudinal analysis of development to young adulthood

Background:Alcohol is the most widely consumed of the psychoactive substances and was responsible in 2012 for nearly 6% of all global deaths. Disorders of alcohol use are highly comorbid with mental health disorders and create a significant health burden: the two are responsible for 183.9 million DALYs annually. The majority of this burden of disease falls on young adults, and despite the poorer prognosis and more frequent relapse that characterise this condition, information on early life factors associated with its development is limited. Data provided by large scale population studies and reports on clinical samples are valuable but are limited by the lack of prospective measures or cannot be generalised due to sample specificity. Although predictors of alcohol use disorders and mental health disorders have separately been widely studied, their application to comorbidity is not straightforward. Aims:This study has three main aims:1. To describe the prevalence, types and onset of comorbidities of mental health and alcohol use disorders in young Australians; 2. To understand factors from different phases of the life span which may predict the onset of comorbidity or be affected by it, and which may present targets for intervention; and 3. To consider the role of alcohol in the context of illicit substance and mental health comorbidities.In this context, this research program aims to explore factors which may distinguish comorbidity from its constituent disorders. Methods:Data from this study were drawn predominantly from the Mater-University of Queensland Study of Pregnancy (MUSP), a pre-birth linked cohort of mothers and children begun in 1981. The baseline sample of 7223 pregnancies comprising the original cohort was followed for twenty-one years, providing prospective measures of health and related factors for both mother and child. At twenty one years, structured psychiatric interviews of the offspring provided lifetime DSM-IV diagnoses of mental health, alcohol and other substance use disorders. The condition of interest, alcohol and mental health disorders which co-occurred within a 12-month period, was examined in light of important developmental factors ranging from pre-birth to late adolescence, using primarily ii multinomial logistic regression analyses. Additional data from the Healthy Neighbourhoods Study were analysed to examine potential markers of early-emerging co-occurring conditions in pre-adolescent students. Key findings:Comorbid alcohol and mental health disorders are highly prevalent at young adulthood, occurring in 12% of this representative sample. Indicators of this comorbidity may be detected in children as young as 10-14 years old. A number of factors distinguish the risk of comorbidity from that of single disorders. Socio-economic disadvantage derived from the family of origin contributes significantly to the risk of comorbidity, with risk increasing in a dose-response manner for multiple dimensions of disadvantage. Maternal smoking during pregnancy is also implicated, indep...
