Abstract

This study evaluated whether recent family member alcohol and substance use problems (ASP) and density of family ASP (i.e., number of members with ASP) predict alcohol-related problems and drug use-related problems among middle-aged and older adults. Data were drawn from participants (age 42-93 years, n=2,168) in the longitudinal Midlife in the United States Study (MIDUS). Poisson regression models revealed that adults' alcohol- and drug use-related problems were predicted by similar problems among family members. In particular, parent and partner ASP, but not child ASP, predicted alcohol-related problems in the middle-aged and combined samples, while only partner ASP predicted participants' drug use-related problems. In addition, density of family ASP predicted alcohol-related problems, but not drug use-related problems. There were no gender interactions. Study findings highlight that understanding how adult children, spouses, and aging parents impact each other's substance use should be a priority of future aging and family research.

中老年人酗酒和吸毒相关问题的家庭预测因素。

本研究评估了近期家庭成员的酒精和药物使用问题（ASP）和家庭ASP密度（即有ASP的成员人数）是否能预测中老年人的酒精相关问题和药物使用相关问题。数据来自美国中年纵向研究（MIDUS）的参与者（42-93 岁，n=2,168）。泊松回归模型显示，成年人与酗酒和吸毒有关的问题是由家庭成员之间的类似问题所预测的。特别是，在中年样本和综合样本中，父母和伴侣的 ASP（而非子女的 ASP）可预测与酒精有关的问题，而只有伴侣的 ASP 可预测参与者与吸毒有关的问题。此外，家庭 ASP 密度能预测与酒精有关的问题，但不能预测与吸毒有关的问题。两性之间没有相互作用。研究结果强调，了解成年子女、配偶和年迈父母如何影响彼此的药物使用，应成为未来老龄化和家庭研究的重点。
