How family interactions influence adolescent substance use disorders
Parent-Child Interaction Dynamics Mediate Genetic and Prevention Effects on the Development of Adolescent Substance Use Disorders
['FUNDING_R01'] · ARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY-TEMPE CAMPUS · NIH-11036317
This study looks at how family relationships can influence whether teenagers develop problems with drugs or alcohol, and it aims to find ways to help families support their kids better and reduce these risks.

What this research studies
This research investigates how early family dynamics affect the development of substance use disorders in adolescents. By using advanced statistical methods, the study aims to identify the genetic and environmental factors that contribute to these disorders. It focuses on observing family interactions to understand their role in both promoting resilience and increasing risk for substance use. The findings will help refine family-based interventions to better support at-risk youth.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this research are families with children aged 0-20 who may be at risk for substance use disorders due to genetic or environmental factors.
Not a fit: Patients who do not have children or adolescents, or those who are not at risk for substance use disorders, may not benefit from this research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could lead to more effective family-based interventions that reduce the risk of substance use disorders in adolescents.
How similar studies have performed: Previous research has shown success in using family-based interventions to address substance use disorders, indicating that this approach has potential for meaningful impact.
