Do maternal parenting practices predict problematic patterns of adolescent alcohol consumption?

Wednesday, March 10, 2010

Objective This study examines whether a mother’s style of parenting at child age 5 years predicts problematic patterns of drinking in adolescence, after controlling for relevant individual, maternal and social risk factors. Methods Data were used from the Mater-University Study of Pregnancy, an Australian longitudinal study of mothers and their children from pregnancy to when the children were 14 years of age. Logistic regression analyses examined whether maternal parenting practices at child age 5 predicted problematic drinking patterns in adolescence, after controlling for a range of confounding covariates.Results Physical punishment at child age 5 did not predict adolescent alcohol problems at follow-up.

Older and sicker: Changing mortality of drug users in treatment in the North West of England

Monday, February 22, 2010

Abstract: Background: The study examines the age at which drug users die and ascertains whether there is a significant difference in the causes of death (‘drug related’ versus ‘non-drug related’) according to age.Methods: Details of people reported to the North West of England’s National Drug Treatment Monitoring System as dying (years 2003/2004–2007/2008) were matched by the Office for National Statistics to death notifications to identify the cause and date of death. Spearman’s rank correlation was performed on median age at death by year. Mantel–Haenszel statistics tested the association between age and type of death, adjusted for year.Results: Causes of death were ascertained for 504 people
