    Journal: J Health Psychol; 2012 Oct; 17(7):1011-21. PubMed ID: 22253326.
    Abstract:
    AIM: This study evaluates the correlation between alcohol consumption in adolescence and parenting styles of socialization among Brazilian adolescents. The sample was composed of 273 adolescents, 58% whom were males. Instruments were: 1) Sociodemographic Questionnaire; 2) Demand and Responsiveness Scales; 3) Drug Use Screening Inventory (DUSI). Study analyses employed multiple correspondence analysis and logistic regression. RESULTS: Maternal, but not paternal, authoritative and authoritarian parenting styles were directly related to adolescent alcohol intake. CONCLUSIONS: The style that mothers use to interact with their children may influence uptake of high-risk behaviors.
