Abstract
- In a statewide random telephone survey of 454 parents and their 14- to 19-year-old adolescents, we examined the associations between various parenting strategies and self-reported teen drinking. Less teen drinking was associated with parents' reports of checking to see if other parents would be present at teen parties, particularly among White parents. Parents' monitoring of teens' activities was associated with feelings of competence at doing so. There was, however, no difference in drinking between teens with parents who did or did not report restricting their teens due to teen misbehavior. These findings suggest that a proactive parental monitoring approach may be associated with less adolescent drinking. Prospective research is needed to clarify the causal relationship between parental monitoring, efficacy and teen alcohol-related behavior.
