Text

Parents completed an assessment at baseline and again one year later. In this assessment, they were asked to indicate whether the child’s biological mother and/or biological father have/had ever had a drinking problem at either time point. Since different parents could have responded to the two surveys, we combined responses such that an affirmative response for either parent at either time point is coded as a lifetime parent drinking problem.2
