Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Help children overcome the increasing dangers they face because of their parents’ addictions Impact of Substance Abuse on Children and Families addresses the growing concern over children at risk of developing physical and mental health problems because of their parents’ addictions to alcohol and other drugs (AOD), including a chapter on the troubling increase of methamphetamine abuse by parents. The book’s contributors examine current research findings from the United States, Australia, Ireland, and Israel to provide much-needed insight into the effects of addiction on family dynamics, parental attachment styles, and family characteristics. The book also looks at the impact of addiction on school-aged children and on mothers in residential treatment with their children, survey assessment instruments and treatment outcomes, and the value of Student Assistance Services for older children. Almost 25 percent of children in the United States live in a household where a parent or other adult is a heavy or binge drinker. More than 10 percent live in family where illicit drugs are used. Children of alcoholics are nearly 10 times more likely to develop an alcohol use disorder as other children, and often develop behavior problems such as depression, anxiety, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, conduct disorder, and oppositional defiant disorder. Children of illicit drug abusers are more likely than other children to demonstrate immature, impulsive, or irresponsible behavior, to have lower IQ scores, and poorer school attendance. Impact of Substance Abuse on Children and Families focuses on these critical and often ignored aspects of addiction, providing the latest evidence-based qualitative and quantitative research findings, as well as a summary of available literature.

Book excerpt: This study utilized an explanatory correlational design to examine the relationship which exists between the predictor variables of adolescent's perception of family adaptation, cohesion, and communication, parental use of substances, adolescent age and gender and the criterion variables of adolescent behavioral intention and self-reported use of alcohol, tobacco, and illicit drugs. The theoretical perspectives of the study, derived from developmental theory and the Circumplex Model of Marital and Family Systems viewed the adolescent stage as a period in which the entire family is challenged to balance levels of adaptation and cohesion in order to facilitate individuation and autonomy of adolescent members. Use of controlled substances by adolescents are considered behaviors which may be influenced by patterns of interaction within the family system. The sample consisted of 306 male and female high school students. Following consent from the student and at least one parent the adolescent was asked to complete four paper and pencil questionnaires. These questionnaires included the Demographic Survey; the Primary Prevention Awareness, Attitude and Usage Scale; the FACES III; and the Parent-Adolescent Communication Scale. Utilizing measures of central tendency and canonical correlation, the data analysis statistically addressed the relationships between the two variables sets. The findings indicated that balanced levels of family functioning and low usage of substances by parents has a strong relationship with decreased substance use by adolescents. Conversely, non-balanced families and those in which parents use substances more often, are families in which the adolescents are more likely to use substances. Age and gender had no significant relation to adolescent substance use or levels of family functioning. Family adaptation, cohesion and communication, and parental role modeling are variables that appear to have a significant impact upon the decisions adolescents make concerning use of alcohol, tobacco products and illicit drugs.

Book excerpt: Adolescent substance use is the world's leading number one public health issue (CASAColumbia, 2011). For many adolescents, illicit substance use has become part of the norm within their adolescent years (Crews, He & Hodge, 2006). According to the Trust for America's Health Report, the drug overdose rate among ages 12 to 25 has more than doubled during the past decade, rising from 300,000 deaths in 1999-2001 to 700,000 deaths in 2011-2013 (Thompson, 2015). Research shows that addiction can negatively also affect teens mentally, emotionally, and physically (Humphries, 2016). Thus, there is a dire need for early effective drug intervention and prevention to help protect and inform teens. Families can be an important protective context for decreasing substance use and abuse. The purpose of the current study was to investigate whether types of conversations during family meals relates to adolescent substance use. Also, the study examines whether family cohesion mediates the relationship between types of conversations and adolescent substance use. Data were obtained through questionnaires completed by 72 college students, ages 18 to 24 years, enrolled in child development courses at a Northern Californian public university. Findings depicted that an increase in criticism during family meals was correlated to marijuana use and cocaine use. On the other hand, conversations that involved parental monitoring was associated with a decrease in cocaine usage with results showing that parental monitoring was a potential protective factor for substance use. Families who had conversations during family meals that involved parental monitoring were less likely to initiate cocaine use. Family meals provide important opportunities for positive conversations and parental monitoring that can strengthen connections among family members. Resilient families who build positive connections may be more likely to work through conflict and maintain relationships with one another. The findings point out the importance of parental monitoring and lack of criticism during adolescence. The relationship between specific conversations and substance use demonstrate the significance of family meals for prevention and intervention efforts against adolescent delinquency.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here is an essential volume for educators, social workers, health care professionals, and parents who are frustrated by the consuming power of drugs over the lives of young people and looking for answers to this enormous problem. In this unique and highly practical volume, experts concentrate on the family--the foundation of mental health and social control--as the most positive force in the prevention of adolescent drug use. Despite the “war on drugs,” young people in large numbers continue to use substances. This instructive guide focuses on educating and strengthening families--which makes stronger children who are less likely to use drugs--instead of the traditional efforts based on rehabilitation instead of prevention. It offers instructive background information about societal forces that affect families and make it difficult to raise drug-free youngsters. Family differences are discussed, such as family structure, parenting styles, ethnic and cultural characteristics. Contributors thoroughly examine practical, effective interventions--at home, at school, and with peers--that are positive rather than negative, instructional rather than punitive, and preventive instead of remedial.

Marlowe and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present study investigated within a substance abuse treatment center the influence of family therapy on flexibility and cohesion among family members. Past studies have suggested adolescents who abuse substances exist in families who have a lack of balance of flexibility and cohesion. Unfortunately, few studies have examined the influence of family therapy on flexibility and cohesion throughout the states of an adolescent and young adult substance abuse treatment program. The sample of participants for this study was drawn from residents of Capstone Treatment Center in Judsonia, Arkansas. Participants included residents and parents. The Family Flexibility and Cohesion Evaluation Scales IV (FACES IV) was administered two separate times within the process of treatment: upon admission and upon discharge. FACES IV, a self-report instrument, examined family cohesion and family flexibility. It was predicted that the family will exhibit high scores for the Unbalanced Scales and low scores for the Balanced Scales at the time of admission. A second hypothesis predicted that the score of the families' Flexibility and Cohesion will move toward a more balanced system, suggesting a higher level of satisfaction within the family system. Hypothesis one was supported from five of the six scales. Hypothesis two was also supported and research implications of these findings are discussed. -Author
