Prevalence of COA• 11.6 million children (16%
of children) exposed to alcohol problems
• Additional 2 million children exposed to an alcohol dependent parent (3% of children)(Ramisetty-Mikler & Caetano, 2004 based on 1995 National Alcohol Survey)
• 1 in 4 children exposed to alcohol or drugs in the family
Neta Peleg-Oren, Eric F. Wagner, Staci Leon Morris
7
Characteristics of COAHaving a parent with a history of
alcohol use problems has been associated with increased risk for problems with:•Emotions (e.g., psychiatric disorder)•Cognitions (e.g., stress coping)•Social Skills (e.g., peer interaction)•Behaviors (e.g., self-regulation)
Neta Peleg-Oren, Eric F. Wagner, Staci Leon Morris
8
COA-High Risk for Substance Use
Genetic and non-genetic influences appear to contribute to the risk for substance use problems among COAs.
COAs are 4-9 times more likely to develop SUDs than nonCOAs (Cloninger et al., 1981; Russell, 1990)
Neta Peleg-Oren, Eric F. Wagner, Staci Leon Morris

Definition of Maternal Warmth
A mother’s general tendency to be supportive, affectionate, and sensitive to the child’s needs, express approval and direct positive emotions and behaviors toward the child (Zhou, et al., 2002).
Neta Peleg-Oren, Eric F. Wagner, Staci Leon Morris
10
Maternal Warmth (cont’d)
Lack of maternal warmth may heighten the risk for substance use problems in adolescents(Cohen et al., 1994; Foxcroft & Lowe, 1991; Kandel & Davis,
1996; Ruchkin, et al., 2002).
Family positive support and control have been found negatively associated with adolescent drinking (Foxcroft & Lowe, 1991).
Neta Peleg-Oren, Eric F. Wagner, Staci Leon Morris
11
Maternal Warmth (cont’d)
High maternal warmth and expression of positive emotions have been linked to:
•Lower levels of hostility•Fewer internalizing problems•Fewer externalizing problems•Positive social skills•Better self-regulation
(Eiden et al., 2004; Eisenberg et al., 2001; Kandel, 1980; Kochanska & Murray, 2000; Kochanska et al., 2000; Zhou, 2002).

Aim of the StudyTo examine
• paternal history of alcohol use problems(no use, moderate use, and heavy problematic use by the father)
•maternal warmth(low or high)
as both independent and interactive predictors of psychosocial outcomes of high-risk, alcohol and drug using
school youth

Alcohol Use, Maternal Warmth and Psychosocial
Outcomes Independent Variables:
1 .COA Status
2 .Maternal Warmth
3 .COA by Maternal Warmth
Dependent Variables )Adolescent Functioning(:
1 .Psychiatric Disorders
2 .Social Skills
3 .Coping Skills
4 .Alcohol and Other Drug Use
Neta Peleg-Oren, Eric F. Wagner, Staci Leon Morris
14
Hypotheses•Adolescents reporting lower maternal
warmth will demonstrate significantly (a) more psychiatric disorders, (b) less adaptive coping skills, and (c) poorer social skills than adolescents reporting higher maternal warmth.
•COAs will demonstrate significantly (a) more frequent and heavier alcohol and drug use and (b) less adaptive coping skills than adolescents with no paternal history of substance use problems.
•The interaction of maternal warmth and COA status were explored (e.g., is maternal warmth even more predictive of outcomes for COAs vs. non-COAs?)
Neta Peleg-Oren, Eric F. Wagner, Staci Leon Morris
15
Present Study•Cross sectional secondary analysis of data derives from an NIAAA-funded randomized clinical trial of school-based group intervention for adolescents with alcohol use problems (Westchester Model SAP).
•Data derived from self-reports collected at baseline from the adolescent.
•The primary analytic strategy was hierarchical multiple regression (HMR).
Neta Peleg-Oren, Eric F. Wagner, Staci Leon Morris
16
Sample Middle and high school students who:
• reported 6 or more occasions of substance use in the 6-month period prior to enrollment.
• reported 6 or more contacts per month with their fathers.
From N = 214 students in the original study 171 (80%) met our above inclusion criteria.

Sample Demographics•Mean age - 15.4 years •52% - middle schoolers•48% - high schoolers•42% - female•66% - non-Hispanic White, 21% Hispanic, 10% Black, and 3% “other”
Neta Peleg-Oren, Eric F. Wagner, Staci Leon Morris
18
Measures•Adolescent substance use -Timeline Followback (TLFB) ( Sobell et al., 1980; Sobell & Sobell, 1992, 1996).
•COA Status - The Social Support Questionnaire (Richter et al.,1991)
•Study classified the participants into 3 groups. children of:
(1) non-drinking fathers (32%) (2) light drinking fathers (37%) (3) heavy drinking fathers (31%)
Neta Peleg-Oren, Eric F. Wagner, Staci Leon Morris
19
Measures (cont’d) • Maternal Warmth - The Parent-Adolescent
Communication Scale (PACS) ( Barnes & Olson, 1982): Open Family Communication and Problems in Family Communication.
• Psychiatric Disorders - The brief Michigan version of the CIDI (Kessler, et al., 1998)
• Coping Skills - The Revised Ways of Coping Checklist (RWCCL) (Vitaliano et al., 1985)
• Social Skills -The Teenage Inventory of Social Skills (TISS) (Inderbitzen & Foster, 1992)

Results—COA
In comparison to non-COAs, COAs reported significantly (p < .05):
•More frequent alcohol use•Greater quantity per use occasion•Less “adaptive” coping skills
Neta Peleg-Oren, Eric F. Wagner, Staci Leon Morris
24
Results –Maternal Warmth
In comparison to teens reporting high maternal warmth, teens reporting low maternal warmth demonstrated significantly (p < .05):
• more psychiatric disorders• less adaptive coping skills• poorer social skills
Neta Peleg-Oren, Eric F. Wagner, Staci Leon Morris
25
Results—Interactions
No significant interactions were found between paternal alcohol use problems and maternal warmthin predicting adolescent psychosocial adjustment.
Neta Peleg-Oren, Eric F. Wagner, Staci Leon Morris
26
Conclusion•COAs have an increased risk for alcohol-
related problems. •Paternal alcohol use and low maternal
warmth each contribute independently to adolescent adjustment.
•There was no evidence of interactive effects of these variables on adolescent adjustment.
Therefore:•Assessment of family history of alcoholism
and maternal warmth is very important•COA or low maternal warmth adolescents
should be considered high-risk teen in need of specialized services.

27
Future Research
•Longitudinal study - the influence of maternal warmth and paternal history of alcohol use on adolescent adjustment over time.
•Identify additional personal and family characteristics which may contribute to psychosocial risk.
•Develop specialized interventions based on documented patterns of risk.
