As we hypothesized, adult monitoring was found to be an important direct predictor of rate of onset, but it did not moderate alcohol-related selection or exposure effects. Studies that look at onset using different measures, for example, parental knowledge of their children’s activities and child disclosure, are needed, however (Kerr & Stattin, 2000; Kerr, Stattin, & Burk, 2010). Further, dynamic cascade theory (Dodge et al., 2009) proposes a dynamic interchange between youth behavior and parenting, which could be examined in a more elaborate SABM with a broader parenting measure.
