abstract="Drug abuse consequences have been typically examined as a direct or main effect on various later outcomes. Drug abuse may also serve as a consequence that alters (moderates) critical developmental trajectories. This study examined the relationship between childhood adversity factors (parent alcohol and drug-related problems, childhood maltreatment) and future parenting practices through an analysis of the moderating effects of polydrug problems. Data from a community sample of mothers was divided into two groups based on the median split level of polydrug problems (alcohol, marijuana, cocaine) that they reported (low, N=123; high, N=114). Confirmatory factor models (CFAs) were developed for the two groups and compared with multiple group analyses (MGAs). Results revealed that mothers who had parents with alcohol or drug-related problems were more likely to become poor parents, if they themselves used drugs and had problems related to drug use.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
