Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between characteristics of neighborhoods, quality of parent-child relationships, influences of peer behaviors, and behavior problems in children for families with alcohol-related problems. The sample consisted of 671 parent-child dyads. Families were recruited from the client caseloads and catchment area populations of 10 alcohol and drug treatment agencies located in Ontario, Canada and Buffalo, New York. Study constructs were measured on the basis of multi-item scales derived from parent reports. For parents, mean age was 39; 88% were female; 35% were African American; 8% were Native American; 26% had < high school education; 47% were employed, 56% had incomes < $20,000. Mean age for children was 10.9 and 47% were female. After controlling for parent age, gender and education, and child age and gender, neighborhood characteristics and parent-child relationships were significantly associated with child behavior problems. Effects of neighborhood characteristics were not mediated by the parent-child relationships. Peer relationships interacted with parent-child relationships, suggesting that children with stronger peer relationships in families where there was greater emotional volatility and less family cohesion were more likely to engage in problem behaviors. Results supported a systems approach for prevention of child behavior problems.
