Over Time

Objective. To examine the joint influences of parental monitoring and peer influence on adolescent substance use over time. Subjects. 6500 adolescents attending six high schools in Wisconsin and northern California. Design. Longitudinal study. Results. Parental monitoring was negatively associated with substance use, whereas the more involved an adolescent's peers were in substance use, the more likely he or she also was to use drugs and alcohol. Effects of monitoring and peer coercion were strongest for boys and girls at the transition into substance use, rather than at the transition from experimentation to regular use. The effect of parental monitoring on changes in adolescent substance use is mediated not so much by the nature of the adolescent's peer associates, but by its direct effect on the adolescent. Specifically, poorly monitored adolescents are more likely to use drugs, and drug-using adolescents seek out like-minded friends. Once an adolescent associates with drug-using peers, his or her own substance use approaches their level. Conclusions. Intervention efforts should include both parents and community-level efforts. Parental monitoring is an effective tool both in the prevention of drug use and in the amelioration of drug use.

BACKGROUND Adolescents in residential substance use treatment are at extremely high risk for relapse following discharge to the community. Parenting practices, including parental monitoring and parent-adolescent communication, have been established as key predictors of adolescent substance use outcomes and relapse. However, traditional office-based therapy may not be feasible for parents who face structural and systemic barriers. There is a clear need for effective, accessible, and scalable interventions for parents of adolescents receiving residential substance use treatment. In a prior pilot randomized controlled trial, we tested Parent SMART (Substance Misuse among Adolescents in Residential Treatment) – a technology-assisted parenting intervention informed by extensive formative research - as an adjunct to residential treatment as usual (TAU). Parent SMART demonstrated high feasibility and acceptability, as well as evidence of effectiveness in improving parental monitoring and communication. OBJECTIVE This protocol paper describes a fully-powered randomized controlled pragmatic effectiveness trial of Parent SMART as an adjunct to residential TAU. We hypothesize that families who receive Parent SMART will demonstrate greater improvements in parenting skills, reductions in adolescent substance use, and reductions in adolescent problem behaviors, relative to families that receive residential TAU. We will test the exploratory hypothesis that reductions in adolescent substance use will be partially mediated by improvements in parenting skills. METHODS Adolescent-parent dyads (n = 220 dyads; 440 total) will be randomized to either residential TAU only or Parent SMART + TAU. Parents randomized to Parent SMART will receive access to a networking forum, an off-the-shelf computer program called Parenting Wisely, and up to four telehealth coaching calls. Multi-method follow-up assessments consisting of self-report parent and adolescent measures, a parent-adolescent in vivo interaction task, and 8-panel urine screens will be conducted 6-, 12-, and 24-weeks post-discharge from residential. Measures will assess parenting skills, adolescent substance use, and adolescent problem behaviors. Analyses will be conducted using latent change score structural equation modeling. RESULTS The trial was funded August 2021; ethics approval was obtained in August 2020, prior to funding. Due to concerns with the administrative interface in the pilot trial, the Parent SMART networking forum is currently being rebuilt by a different vendor. The programming is scheduled to be completed by December 2021 with recruitment beginning in February 2022. CONCLUSIONS The proposed research has the potential to advance the field by: serving a high-need, underserved population during a vital treatment juncture; targeting parenting practices (putative mediators) that have been shown to predict adolescent substance use outcomes; addressing barriers to accessing continuing care; and testing a highly scalable intervention model.

This chapter presents a model of parental socialization that summarizes the interrelations among parental modeling of substance use, parent approval, parental monitoring and control, parent–child relationship quality, child cognitions, friends’ substance use, and child/adolescent substance use. Parental alcohol consumption, smoking, and drug use are significant predictors of child and adolescent drinking, smoking, and marijuana use. Parental substance use is associated with lower quality parenting and family management practices and lower quality relationships with offspring, both of which are associated with greater offspring substance use. Parental substance use, parental approval, parenting practices, and relationship quality are associated with adolescents’ affiliation with substance-using friends. Parental non-use, effective parenting practices, and good-quality parent–child relationships buffer the relation between friends’ modeling of substance use and adolescent offspring substance use. The model should facilitate the development of targeted tests of its utility for generating new research on the socialization of adolescent substance use.
