TY - JOUR PY - 2001// TI - Reaffirming the Power of Parental Influence on Adolescent Smoking and Drinking Decisions JO - Adolescent and family health A1 - Johnson, Patrick B. A1 - Johnson, Helen L. SP - 37 EP - 43 VL - 2 IS - 1 N2 - This article examines changing perceptions of the importance of parental influence as a factor in adolescent alcohol and tobacco use. Recent research is summarized to suggest that the influence of parents has been somewhat underestimated, while the influence of peers has been overstated. The review delineates various ways in which parents directly and indirectly influence their children's decisions to use alcohol and tobacco, including overt modeling of alcohol and tobacco use, admonitions against experimentation, sanctions associated with experimentation, the development of specific substance-use beliefs, and peer selection. The review concludes with a series of research recommendations. (Abstract Adapted from Source: Adolescent & Family Health, 2001.
