Does Living with a Substance Abusing Father Increase Substance Abuse Risk in Male Offspring? Impact on Individual, Family, School, and Peer Vulnerability Factors.

Tarter, Ralph E.; Schultz, Katie; Kirisci, Levent; Dunn, Marija

Journal of Child and Adolescent Substance Abuse, v10 n3 p59-70 2001

Examined whether risk of drug abuse in offspring of fathers with substance use disorders differs with respect to presence or absence of the father. Concluded increased risk for substance abuse in offspring of separated parents due to the combination of the transmission of more severe liability from the father, and fewer resources available to the single mother for effective parenting. (Contains 25 references and 6 tables.) (ADT)
