It is well established that high-risk offspring of individuals with AUD also manifest low P3 amplitude and FT power during cognitive tasks. While previous work attests the importance of positive parenting in offspring normative development, it is unknown if it plays a protective role among individuals with high risk for developing AUD. Therefore, in a sample of high-risk individuals from the COGA prospective study, we examined the associations of closeness with mother and father during adolescence with offspring’s target-related parietal P3 amplitude, FT power (FT), and binge drinking. We also examined differences in these associations across offspring sex.
