Parental divorce and family history of alcohol disorder: Associations with young adults' alcohol problems, marijuana use, and interpersonal relations
Alcoholism: Clinical and Experimental Research May 02, 2018
Windle M, et al. - Researchers evaluated the impact of parental divorce and family history of alcoholism (FH+) on the outcomes of offspring alcohol problems, marijuana use, and interpersonal relationships with parents using prospective data from 706 young adults. Marijuana use but not alcohol problems were significantly predicted via parental divorce. Among sons, paternal alcoholism was observed to be associated with higher levels of alcohol problems compared to daughters. A significant 2-way interaction was noted between divorce status and maternal alcoholism, indicating that young adults who experienced both maternal alcoholism and parental divorce had the highest levels of marijuana use. Findings thereby reinforced the role that parental divorce and FH+ have on alcohol problems, marijuana use, and interpersonal relationships in young adulthood, and how sex may moderate some of these more nuanced relationships.
