TY - JOUR PY - 2010// TI - Association of substance use discussion by pediatric providers with the parent-provider relationship and maternal behavior change JO - Clinical pediatrics A1 - Garg, Arvin A1 - Nelson, Catherine S.

A1 - Sia, Calvin SP - 240 EP - 248 VL - 49 IS - 3 N2 - A cross-sectional study of data from a randomized, controlled trial was conducted to determine (1) provider and parent attributes associated with discussion of maternal substance use, (2) how substance use discussion related to the parent-provider relationship, and (3) whether discussion was associated with maternal attempts at behavior change. Of the 482 mothers, 34% reported discussing all 3 substance use items (smoking, alcohol, and drug use) with their child's provider. Mothers who discussed smoking were more likely to report discussing alcohol and other drug use (P < .001). Parent-provider relationship scores, measured by a modified version of the Primary Care Assessment Survey, were positively associated with discussion of each substance (P < .001). Discussion of smoking and drug use were significantly associated with attempted behavior change. Our findings suggest that discussion of parental substance use by pediatricians is positively associated with the parent-provider relationship and may lead to behavior change.
