ABSTRACT

This study aimed to identify relationships between perceived parenting behaviors and alcohol involvement in Mexican teenagers and young adults. Egna Minnen Beträffande Uppfostran (EMBU-I) and Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT) questionnaires were administered to 276 students from technical schools. Lifetime prevalence of alcohol use was 76.1%. Findings revealed that higher perception of parenting behaviors (rejection and overprotection) was significantly related to higher involvement with alcohol. Those results were consistent in men. Results suggest that parental rejection and overprotection, as well as sex of the offspring, are key elements that must be studied extensively among youths in order to justify preventive strategies toward reducing alcohol use in Mexico.
