TY - JOUR PY - 2013// TI - Parental influence on inhalant use JO - Journal of child and adolescent substance abuse A1 - Baltazar, Alina A1 - Hopkins, Gary A1 - McBride, Duane A1 - Vanderwaal, Curt A1 - Pepper, Sara A1 - Mackey, Sarah SP - 25 EP - 37 VL - 22 IS - 1 N2 - The purpose of this article is to examine the dynamics of the relationship between parents and their adolescent children and their association with lifetime and past-month inhalant usage. The population studied was seventh- through ninth-grade students in rural Idaho (N = 570). The authors found a small, but consistent, significant inverse correlation between parental bonding and monitoring of behavior and inhalant usage. There was also a significant positive correlation between verbally aggressive behavior in the family and inhalant use. The data imply that family interaction may play a significant role in the use of inhalants and that the family can play a major role in prevention.
