The purpose of this Lebanese, cross-sectional, multi-centric study is to examine the prevalence of psychiatric disorders among adult patients with substance use disorder and their parents along with the predominant parenting style. A total of 100 patients suffering from a substance use disorder, and their parents (N = 127) were administered the translated Arabic version of the MINI to diagnose lifetime psychiatric disorders. The Parental Authority Questionnaire (PAQ) in its translated validated Arabic version was filled by patients to detect the predominant parenting style. The least common parenting style reported was authoritative (25%). The parents’ prevalence of nicotine dependence, alcohol abuse and dependence, and illicit substance abuse and dependence were considerably higher than the general population. Mood and anxiety disorders were more prevalent among patients and their parents compared to the Lebanese general population. In the bivariate analysis, no significant association was found between the perceived parenting style (authoritative and non-authoritative) and parents’ economic (p = 0.545) and civil status (p = 0.231), patient’s gender (p = 0.390), birth order (p = 0.084), and parents’ and offspring psychiatric disorder. Hence, an underlying genetic and environmental mechanism could potentially explain our findings rather than a rearing problem; however, further studies with larger sample size are needed to confirm this hypothesis.

这项黎巴嫩、横断面、多中心研究的目的是检查患有物质使用障碍的成年患者及其父母的精神障碍患病率以及主要的养育方式。共 100 名患有物质使用障碍的患者及其父母（N= 127) 被管理翻译的阿拉伯语版本的 MINI 来诊断终生精神疾病。父母权威问卷 (PAQ) 的翻译验证阿拉伯语版本由患者填写，以检测主要的养育方式。报告的最不常见的养育方式是权威的 (25%)。父母尼古丁依赖、酒精滥用和依赖以及非法药物滥用和依赖的流行率远高于一般人群。与黎巴嫩普通人群相比，情绪和焦虑症在患者及其父母中更为普遍。在双变量分析中，感知的养育方式（权威和非权威）与父母的经济（p= 0.545) 和公民身份 ( p = 0.231)、患者的性别 ( p = 0.390)、出生顺序 ( p = 0.084) 以及父母和后代的精神疾病。因此，潜在的遗传和环境机制可能解释我们的发现而不是饲养问题。然而，需要更大样本量的进一步研究来证实这一假设。
