OBJECTIVE Studies of clinical and high-risk samples have demonstrated associations between parental alcohol use disorders (AUDs) and offspring's internalizing and externalizing behavior problems during adolescence and early adulthood. It remains unclear, however, whether associations between parental AUD histories and offspring behavior problems are evident among very young offspring who were not directly exposed to a parent who experienced an active AUD episode during the child's lifetime. The present study sought to evaluate internalizing and externalizing behavior problems among young children as a function of paternal and maternal AUD histories and associated clinical features. METHOD The community sample consisted of 160 families with a 2-year-old child and parents who did not experience an AUD episode since the child was born. Parental AUD histories and associated clinical features were evaluated with semistructured interviews, and parental reports of child internalizing and externalizing behaviors were assessed with an age-appropriate behavior checklist. RESULTS In contrast to previous findings from clinical and high-risk samples, when paternal and maternal AUD histories and associated clinical features were evaluated as predictors of child behavior problems, no statistically significant associations were detected (βs ranged from .01 to .18). Moderating effects of sex of the offspring were also not significant. CONCLUSIONS Parental AUD histories do not appear to confer risk for offspring internalizing or externalizing behavior problems at age 2. The emergence of such behavior problems may be limited to specific developmental periods during childhood or reflect the impact of direct exposure to parents with alcohol-related problems.

2岁时父母的酒精使用障碍史与后代行为问题有关吗?

目的对临床和高风险样本进行的研究表明,父母饮酒障碍(AUDs)与青春期和成年后代的内在和外在行为问题之间存在关联。然而,尚不清楚的是,在非常年轻的后代中,父母的AUD病史和后代行为问题之间的关联是否在儿童的一生中没有直接暴露于经历了活跃AUD发作的父母的幼小后代中是否明显。本研究试图评估作为父母和母亲的AUD历史及相关临床特征的函数的幼儿内部和外部行为问题。方法社区样本包括160个有2岁孩子的家庭,以及自孩子出生以来未经历过AUD发作的父母。通过半结构化访谈评估了父母的AUD历史和相关的临床特征,并使用了适合年龄的行为清单评估了父母对孩子内在化和外在化行为的报告。结果与先前从临床和高风险样本中获得的发现相反,当评估父亲和母亲的AUD历史以及相关的临床特征作为儿童行为问题的预测指标时,未发现统计学上的显着相关性(β值介于0.01至0.18之间)。后代性别的调节作用也不明显。结论父母的AUD历史似乎并未赋予2岁后代内在化或外在化行为问题的风险。
