Family Structure, Race, and Adolescents' Alcohol Use: A Research Note

&
Pages 467-478
Published online: 07 Jul 2009

Family structure is related to adolescents' drinking behavior differently for Blacks than Whites. Black adolescents were more likely to be heavy alcohol users when both natural parents were present, but the opposite was true for the whites. Only when non-White adolescents were in families with both parents, and the father had at least a high school education, did they drink near the rate of White adolescents. There was support of social learning theory.
