Brief Summary

Alcohol use disorders are a major public health problem in Europe. The average prevalence of Alcohol Use Disorders (AUD) in the general population is 7.5%, although there are large variations between countries. According to the literature, 20 to 30% of children have parents with problematic alcohol use. Public health authorities are alarmed by the precociousness of alcohol consumption in the youngest age and by the prevalence of alcohol consumption in adolescence. One of the well-established risk factors for alcohol use and abuse is having a parent with AUD. Compared with people growing up without any parent with AUD, the relative risk of suffering negative life events in childhood is 2 to 13 times higher if one or both parents have alcohol use disorders. A family history of Alcohol Use Disorders is predictive of earlier alcohol, tobacco, or cannabis use in adolescence, but it is also associated with a higher risk of developing substance use disorders.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Effectiveness of a parenting program

  Overall score measuring the level of parental stress, obtained using the Parental Stress Index (PSI), measured at the post-inclusion visit and at the 6-month post-program visit. Parental Stress Index was designed to evaluate the magnitude of stress in the parent-child system, with 101-item inventory that focuses on two major domains of stress: child characteristics and parent characteristics. The score is obtained by summing the responses to the items and then converting it to a percentile. A high score means that the parent is stressed.
