The impact of parental substance use disorder and other family-related problems on school related outcomes.

ABSTRACT:

Aims

To identify young people with different levels of family-related problems, including parental substance use disorder (PSUD), and investigate differences in grades at graduation from compulsory school and further enrollment in education.

Methods

Participants included 6784 emerging adults (aged 15-25 years) from samples drawn for two national surveys in Denmark 2014-2015. Latent classes were constructed using the following parental variables: PSUD, offspring not living with both parents, and parental criminality, mental disorders, chronic diseases and long-term unemployment. The characteristics were analyzed using an independent one-way ANOVA. Differences in grade point average and further enrollment were analyzed using linear regression and logistic regression, respectively.

Results

Four classes of families were identified: 1. "Low adverse childhood experiences (ACE) families", 2. "Families with PSUD", 3. "Families with unemployment" and 4. "High ACE families". There were significant differences in grades, with the highest average among youth from "Low ACE families" (males = 6.83; females = 7.40) and significant lower averages among both males and females from the other types of families, but lowest among young people from "High ACE families" (Males = 5.58; females = 5.79). Youth from "Families with PSUD" (Males: OR = 1.51; 95% CI: 1.01-2.26; females: OR = 2.16; 95% CI: 1.22-3.85) and "High ACE families" (Males: OR = 1.78; 95% CI: 1.11-2.26) were significantly more likely not to be enrolled in further education compared with "Low ACE families".

Conclusions

Young people who experience PSUD, both as the primary family-related problem as well as among multiple family-related problems, are at increased risk for negative school-related outcomes.

Project description:AimsWe tested whether parental alcohol use disorder (AUD) predicted adult offspring's likelihood of marriage and marriage to an AUD-affected spouse; whether effects differed as a function of the sex or number of affected parents; and whether they were robust to confounders.DesignSex-stratified Cox and logistic regression models.SettingSweden.ParticipantsA total of 1 171 070 individuals (51.40% male) born 1965-75.MeasurementsObtained from legal, medical and pharmacy registries. Predictor was parent AUD. Outcomes were marriage and spouse AUD. Adjustments included offspring birth year and AUD; and parental education, marriage, divorce, criminal behavior and drug abuse.FindingsMale and female offspring of AUD-affected parents were more likely to marry at younger ages (< 25), illustrative unadjusted hazard ratio (HR)age 20 = 1.22 (1.17, 1.28) and 1.34 (1.20, 1.39) and were less likely to marry at older ages (> 25), HRage 30 = 0.79 (0.78, 0.81) and 0.82 (0.81, 0.84). Parental AUD was associated with higher odds of having an affected spouse for males and females, odds ratio (OR) = 1.47 (1.38, 1.57) and 1.63 (1.56, 1.70). Effects were more pronounced for those with two versus one AUD-affected parent and adjustments attenuated effects negligibly. Daughters of affected mothers (versus fathers) were more likely to have AUD-affected husbands, OR = 1.68 (1.54, 1.84) versus 1.56 (1.48, 1.64), while there was no difference in sons.ConclusionsIn Sweden, parental alcohol use disorder (AUD) is associated with a higher probability of marriage at younger ages, a lower probability of marriage at older ages and a higher likelihood of marriage to an affected spouse compared with no parental AUD. Most of these effects become stronger when the number of AUD-affected parents increases from one to two, and most effects hold after controlling for parents' socio-economic status, marital history, other externalizing disorders and offspring's own AUD status. Daughters of affected mothers are more likely to have an affected spouse.
