Intra-Familial Interactions and Juvenile Substance Use: Theory and Empirical Evidence from the Children of NLSY-79 Working Paper, Department of Economics, The Ohio State University, August 2001 Cohort(s): Children of the NLSY79 Publisher: Department of Economics, The Ohio State University Keyword(s): Behavior Problems Index (BPI); Child Self-Administered Supplement (CSAS); Cigarette Use (see Smoking); Drug Use; Home Observation for Measurement of Environment (HOME); Parenthood Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. This paper examines the interactions between parents and children in an incentive model framework and attempts to make predictions about the importance of parenting regimes for substance use in households. Thus the study aims to understand what is the role of parent-child interactions in the substance use by young children focusing on smoking cigarettes and alcohol consumption. The results of the paper show that parenting regime is not significant in predicting substance abuse for the children in the sample. The paper does establish the importance of family background factors in determining substance use, including parental substance use. |
