The Enduring Effects of Parental Alcohol, Tobacco, and Drug Use on Child Well-being: A Multilevel Meta-Analysis.

ABSTRACT: The effects of psychoactive substance abuse are not limited to the user, but extend to the entire family system, with children of substance abusers being particularly at risk. This meta-analysis attempted to quantify the longitudinal relationship between parental alcohol, tobacco, and drug use and child well-being, investigating variation across a range of substance and well-being indices and other potential moderators. We performed a literature search of peer-reviewed, English language, longitudinal observational studies that reported outcomes for children aged 0 to 18 years. In total, 56 studies, yielding 220 dependent effect sizes, met inclusion criteria. A multilevel random-effects model revealed a statistically significant, small detriment to child well-being for parental substance abuse over time (r = .15). Moderator analyses demonstrated that the effect was more pronounced for parental drug use (r = .25), compared with alcohol use (r = .13), tobacco use (r = .13), and alcohol use disorder (r = .14). Results highlight a need for future studies that better capture the effect of parental psychoactive substance abuse on the full breadth of childhood well-being outcomes and to integrate substance abuse into models that specify the precise conditions under which parental behavior determines child well-being.Registration: PROSPERO CRD42017076088.

Project description:This research is part of the last study Drugs and School IX developed in the Basque Country (Spain) by the Instituto Deusto de Drogodependencias (Deusto Institute of Drug Addiction) of the University of Deusto (The study had the support of the Public Health and Addictions Directorate of the Deputy Health Ministry from the Health Department of the Basque Country.) and the data gathered by means of cluster sampling in two stages. The sample is made up of N = 6,007 girls and boys ranging from 12 to 22 years of age in secondary education, and the aims, on the basis of those parameters, are as follows: (1) describe the reality of drug consumption and some psychosocial variables in this sample, as well as analyze several relations between variables; (2) analyze the role of school well-being (SWB), self-esteem, and self-concept regarding consumption; (3) take a close look at the moderating role of age and gender on the relationship of school well-being, self-concept, and self-esteem with consumption; and (4) understand the existing interaction between all these variables, by studying the moderating role of self-esteem and self-concept in the influence of school well-being on consumption. With the use of a correlation, hierarchical regression, and mediation analysis with SPSS (v. 26) and Amos (v. 26) applications, three main conclusions were reached. Firstly, educational and academic well-being, academic self-concept, and self-esteem seem to play the role of protecting factors in adolescence, whereas assertiveness is linked to a higher consumption level. Secondly, academic self-concept has a mediating effect between well-being and consumption. Some of these relations are moderated by the variables of gender and age. Thirdly, age and gender are very relevant sociodemographic variables that must be taken into account in order to understand this phenomenon. Age has shown its covariant effect, which is especially relevant in the influence of academic well-being measured as being held back years. It has also proved to be important in order to understand its experiential or experimental and transitory character. Moreover, significant differences in consumptions have been found based on gender.

Project description:BackgroundGiven the growing number of adolescents exhibiting problematic internet use (PIU) and experiencing its harmful consequences, it is important to examine the factors associated with PIU. Existing research has identified perceived parental supportiveness and adolescents' subjective mental well-being as strong predictors of PIU. However, it is unknown how these factors work together in shaping adolescents' engagement in PIU.ObjectiveThis paper aimed to examine the role played by adolescents' perception of parental supportiveness in conjunction with their subjective mental well-being in shaping their PIU.MethodsThe study analyzed one of the Technology & Adolescent Mental Wellness (TAM) data sets that were collected from a nationally representative cross-sectional sample. Adolescents self-reported their internet use behavior, perceived parental supportiveness, and subjective mental well-being through an online research panel survey. Hierarchical linear regression analysis with an interaction term was performed.ResultsA total of 4592 adolescents, aged 12 to 17 years, completed the survey. Adolescents reported a mean age of 14.61 (SD 1.68) and were 46.4% (2130/4592) female and 66.9% (3370/4592) White. Findings revealed that, controlling for adolescents' demographics and social media use, higher levels of perceived parental supportiveness (β=-.285, P<.001) and higher levels of subjective mental well-being (β=-.079, P<.001) were associated with a lower likelihood of adolescent PIU. The moderation analysis showed that the negative association between perceived parental supportiveness and PIU was stronger when adolescents reported high (vs low) levels of mental well-being (β=-.191, P<.001).ConclusionsThis study shows that perceived parental supportiveness was a stronger protective factor than adolescents' mental well-being against PIU. The protective power of perceived parental supportiveness against PIU was strongest when adolescents had high mental well-being. The highest risk of PIU occurred when adolescents' mental well-being was high, but parents were perceived as unsupportive. Our findings suggest that parental supportiveness should be targeted as part of PIU prevention efforts.

Project description:ObjectiveTo estimate alcohol, tobacco, and recreational drug use during pregnancy among nulliparous women.MethodsIn a cohort of nulliparous women followed through pregnancy from the first-trimester nuMoM2b (Nulliparous Outcomes in Pregnancy: Monitoring Mothers to be) study, self-reported use of alcohol, tobacco, and drugs was chronicled longitudinally at four study visits in this secondary analysis. Rates of use before pregnancy, in each trimester (visit 1, visit 2, visit 3, approximating each trimester), and at the time of delivery (visit 4) were recorded. The amount of alcohol, tobacco, and drug exposure were recorded using validated measures, and trends across pregnancy were analyzed.ResultsOf the 10,038 study participants, 10,028 had information regarding alcohol, tobacco, and drug use at visit 1, 9,412 at visit 2, 9,217 at visit 3, and 7,167 at visit 4. The rates of drinking alcohol, which had been 64.6% in the 3 months before pregnancy, were lower in pregnancy (3.9% at visit 1, 5.6% at visit 2, 7.0% at visit 3, and 6.1% at visit 4, P<.001 for all). Rates later in pregnancy were all greater than in the first trimester (P<.01). The rate of smoking in the 3 months before pregnancy, which was 17.8%, also declined at visit 1 (5.9%), and continued to decline through pregnancy (5.3% at visit 2, 4.7% at visit 3, and 3.9% at visit 4, with all rates lower than that of visit 1 [P<.01]). Although recreational drug use was relatively common in the months before pregnancy (33.8%), it also declined during pregnancy (1.1% at visit 2, 0.7% at visit 3, 0.4% at visit 4).ConclusionsIn this geographically and ethnically diverse cohort of nulliparous women, rates of self-reported alcohol, smoking, and recreational drug use were all significantly lower during than before pregnancy. Nonetheless, rates of alcohol use rose as pregnancy progressed, highlighting the need for continued counseling throughout all trimesters of pregnancy.Clinical trial registrationClinicalTrials.gov, NCT01322529.
