Evaluation of the Implementation of a Parenting Program in Parents With Children Aged 4 to 12 Years and One Parent With an Alcohol Use Disorders
Alcohol use disorders are a major public health problem in Europe. The average prevalence of Alcohol Use Disorders (AUD) in the general population is 7.5%, although there are large variations between countries. According to the literature, 20 to 30% of children have parents with problematic alcohol use. Public health authorities are alarmed by the precociousness of alcohol consumption in the youngest age and by the prevalence of alcohol consumption in adolescence. One of the well-established risk factors for alcohol use and abuse is having a parent with AUD. Compared with people growing up without any parent with AUD, the relative risk of suffering negative life events in childhood is 2 to 13 times higher if one or both parents have alcohol use disorders. A family history of Alcohol Use Disorders is predictive of earlier alcohol, tobacco, or cannabis use in adolescence, but it is also associated with a higher risk of developing substance use disorders.
