A community-based participatory research design combined qualitative focus groups and individual interviews with quantitative written surveys. Results show that parents and other adults influence decisions about alcohol both positively and negatively. Key strategies include communication, modeling positive behavior, monitoring youth, and limiting access. Communication is viewed as most effective, while monitoring needs improvement and parent education is needed to strengthen prevention skills and reduce under-discussed peer and family alcohol norms.",{"@graph":14,"@context":72},[15,34,55],{"@type":16,"itemListElement":17},"BreadcrumbList",[18,23,27,31],{"item":19,"name":20,"@type":21,"position":22},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",1,{"item":24,"name":25,"@type":21,"position":26},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/","Document",2,{"item":28,"name":29,"@type":21,"position":30},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/research-report/","Research & Report",3,{"item":32,"name":10,"@type":21,"position":33},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/using-mixed-methods-to-examine-parental-influence-on-youth-alcohol-use/592202/",4,{"url":32,"name":10,"@type":35,"image":36,"author":41,"headline":10,"publisher":44,"fileFormat":47,"inLanguage":8,"description":12,"dateModified":48,"datePublished":49,"encodingFormat":47,"isAccessibleForFree":50,"interactionStatistic":51},"DigitalDocument",{"url":37,"@type":38,"width":39,"height":40},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/using-mixed-methods-to-examine-parental-influence-on-youth-alcohol-use/592202.png","ImageObject",300,407,{"name":42,"@type":43},"Grenda","Person",{"url":19,"name":45,"@type":46},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-11-01","2026-10-15",true,{"@type":52,"interactionType":53,"userInteractionCount":33},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":54},"ViewAction",{"@type":56,"mainEntity":57},"FAQPage",[58,64,68],{"name":59,"@type":60,"acceptedAnswer":61},"What research methods were used in the study?","Question",{"text":62,"@type":63},"The study used mixed methods within a community-based participatory research approach, combining qualitative focus groups and individual interviews with a quantitative written survey.","Answer",{"name":65,"@type":60,"acceptedAnswer":66},"Which parental strategies were identified as important for preventing youth alcohol use?",{"text":67,"@type":63},"Both youths and adults identified communication, modeling positive behavior, monitoring youths, and controlling youths’ access to alcohol as important prevention strategies.",{"name":69,"@type":60,"acceptedAnswer":70},"Why is parent education and support considered necessary?",{"text":71,"@type":63},"Many parents reported difficulty modeling positive drinking behavior and few had discussed youth drinking with other parents.

A combination of qualitative (focus group and individual interview) and quantitative (written survey) community-based participatory research methods was used. Results showed that parents and other adults influence youth decisions about alcohol use both positively and negatively. Parental strategies identified by both youths and adults as important for the prevention of youth alcohol use includes communication, modeling positive behavior, monitoring youths, and controlling youths’ access to alcohol. Communication was considered the most effective strategy, especially if parents do not lecture or nag their children. Both parents and students viewed monitoring as important but in need of improvement. Most youths and adults believed it is easy for minors to obtain alcohol, usually from their own or friends’ parents. However, few parents had talked with other parents about youth drinking. Youths’ perceptions of alcohol use norms were assimilated from adults, but many parents reported difficulty in modeling positive drinking behavior. Parent education and support are needed to encourage parents to confront the extent of youth drinking and to improve their own prevention skills.  \nThe Committee on Substance Abuse of the American Academy of Pediatrics1 identifies youth alcohol use asa serious pediatric concern because of its association with negative health and safety outcomes. Alcohol use during adolescence has been identified as a risk factor for developing alcohol-related problems during adulthood.2–4 More immediate consequences of youth alcohol use have included engaging in highrisk sexual behaviors,5–7 increased risk of accidental death due to motor vehicle crashes,8,9 and delinquent behaviors including fighting, truancy, theft, and assault.10 Alcohol also is known as a gateway drug; youths often begin using alcohol before moving on to other illegal substances including marijuana.11  \nAlcohol is the most popular psychoactive substance in the youth culture, and what Windle11 calls a “statistically normative behavior.” Although the minimum legal drinking age in the United States is 21  \nCarol A.
