Binge drinking — consuming four, for females, or five, for males, drinks at a time — puts the imbiber at risk of fatal accidents, injuries, violence, and legal problems. Social psychologist \u003ca href=\"http://cgu.edu/pages/972.asp\" target=\"_blank\">William D. Crano\u003c/a> at Claremont Graduate University in Claremont, Calif., and his colleagues wondered whether certain conditions in adolescence \"had any predictive power for what's going to happen\" in terms of alcohol use and incarceration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The researchers looked at data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health (\u003ca href=\"http://www.cpc.unc.edu/projects/addhealth\" target=\"_blank\">Add Health\u003c/a>), which has interviewed a nationally representative group four times, beginning in the 1994-1995 school year, when the participants were in seventh through 12th grades. The most recent survey occurred in 2008, when the respondents had reached ages ranging from 24 to 32. Parent interviews occurred in the first year of the project.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Crano and his group focused on four factors from the first wave of interviews:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>whether parents monitored their teens,\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>the warmth parents expressed to their teens,\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>how frequently parents drank,\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>if parents thought their kids were drinking.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>The study involved more than 9,400 adolescents and their parents. Teens answered questions about parental monitoring and warmth; parents responded to queries about their drinking and expectations. In later surveys, the Add Health project collected data on teen and young adult binge drinking and incarceration rates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Adolescents whose parents neither kept an eye on them nor provided a supportive home environment were more likely to binge drink. These parental behaviors, along with underage drinking, predicted binge drinking as young adults. Furthermore, those who binged as teens and young adults were more likely to be arrested.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The study suggests that parents do make a difference. \"Parental monitoring and warmth are a protective device against kids' binge drinking,\" says Crano. But the two need to go hand in hand. \"If you have surveillance without warmth, you've got a problem,\" he adds. \"You want the relationship between a parent and a child to be close enough and warm enough that the child discloses behaviors and what they are thinking, and the parent can offer advice\" that reinforces rules but doesn't disparage the child.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The study also found that how often parents drank was predictive of teen and young adult binge drinking. While the survey didn't ask about the amount of alcohol consumed, the research supports the idea that parents' drinking behavior can send a powerful message to kids in terms of what is acceptable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Finally, it was more likely that adolescents were drinking if their parents expected they were drinking. This self-fulfilling prophecy may stem from parents not intervening and educating their kids when they suspect alcohol use, says Crano, even though that is exactly what is needed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Crano and his group argue that national prevention campaigns would do well to target parents, not just teens. \"Parents are an easier audience,\" he says. \"They are quite open to learning how to do better for their children.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Armed with the right information, parents can direct a prevention campaign in their own living rooms. Social ecologist \u003ca href=\"https://www.rti.org/expert/christine-jackson\" target=\"_blank\">Christine Jackson\u003c/a> at RTI International in Durham, North Carolina, and colleagues there and at The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill report on a home-based parenting program meant to counter parents' misconceptions about kids and alcohol, support communication in the family, and encourage parents to set rules regarding alcohol use.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jackson notes that a child's first taste of alcohol often comes from a drink offered by a parent. Contrary to the belief that sipping will satisfy kids' curiosity about alcohol and deter future drinking, previous work by Jackson and colleagues found that fifth-grade children permitted by parents to try an alcoholic beverage were twice as likely to drink in seventh grade as peers not granted sips.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"In the short term, allowing children to try alcohol simply teaches them that parents don't mind if they have alcohol,\" Jackson says. \"In the long term, allowing children to have alcohol increases their odds of underage drinking during adolescence.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If kids have positive ideas about alcohol — for example, that drinking makes one popular — they are more likely to drink, notes Jackson. The program set out to provide alternative, protective ideas. It helped parents discuss how alcohol is harmful to children's health and commit to keeping kids alcohol-free. It also sought to empower kids to reject social pressures to drink.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To test the approach, the researchers recruited third-grade children and their mothers from school districts in three southern states, primarily North Carolina. Just over 1,000 children were randomly divided into two groups, one whose families received the five-month-long alcohol prevention program, and one provided with an obesity-prevention program for comparison. The materials included magazines, games and role-playing activities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jackson and her colleagues interviewed the kids about their beliefs and attitudes regarding alcohol before the program started. At the same time, they queried mothers about how often both parents drank and about the mother's racial and ethnic identity and education. In the second and third years of the study, families received a one-month booster program. Four years from the start of the program, the researchers asked the kids again about their alcohol-related beliefs and attitudes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The third-graders who had received the alcohol prevention program were significantly less inclined to drink at the four-year follow-up, when they were in seventh grade, than those in the obesity program. This was true regardless of their parents' drinking habits or mother's education, race or ethnicity. \"This means that the program has a sustained effect on children's attitudes and intentions about alcohol use,\" says Jackson.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kids develop ideas about alcohol with or without their parents' direct input. \"Encourage conversation with kids about issues that are important to them,\" says Crano. \"You want to be the person to help them.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Aimee Cunningham is a freelance science journalist based in the Washington, D.C., area.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2016 NPR.

That’s when Siqueira realized just how dangerous alcohol use can be for teens.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vodka is their favored drink, she discovered, because it doesn’t taste or smell funny. “They take the bottle from their parents’ cabinet, sit in a circle, pass it around and take a swig,” says Siqueira, professor of pediatrics and director of adolescent medicine at Florida International University.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kids want to get a buzz, but aren’t sure how much to drink, and they might not stop until they’re nearly unconscious. Siqueira has heard the same story over and over since that day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While alcohol use among youth \u003ca href=\"http://www.drugabuse.gov/related-topics/trends-statistics/monitoring-future/monitoring-future-survey-overview-findings-2014\" target=\"_blank\">has been falling\u003c/a> in recent years, binge drinking –- downing five or more drinks in two hours -- is still common. Teen binge drinking rates are so high, and the consequences so serious, that the American Academy of Pediatrics has issued a new report to help physicians spot and care for young drinkers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To increase the chances of identifying at-risk youth, says Siqueira, the report’s lead author, doctors should screen every child in their practice for alcohol use, starting at age nine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>A troubling trend\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most young people in the United States do not drink alcohol, but those who do are more likely than adults to drink heavily.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many of the defining traits of adolescence –- a strong desire to fit in with peers, seek novel experiences and test limits –- make this tumultuous passage a prime time for flirting with substance use. And for most teens, alcohol is the substance of choice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>People dealing with increased stress are at higher risk for using drugs or alcohol as a coping mechanism, says Bonnie Halpern-Felsher, director of research in the division of adolescent medicine at Stanford University. “Going back to school, especially for those taking difficult classes or thinking about college, can enhance stress.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The AAP report was published Monday in the journal Pediatrics. It draws on several national studies of youth drinking behavior which show that binge drinking rates increase with age and rise sharply in high school:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>21 percent of kids admit to having tried alcohol before 8th grade\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>79 percent of kids admit to having tried alcohol by 12th \u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.5\">grade\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>14.2 percent of 12- to 20-year-olds say they engaged in binge drinking in 2013\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>36 to 50 percent of high school students drink alcohol; 28 to 60 percent of them admit to binge drinking and nearly two-thirds have done so more than once in a month\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>10 percent of high school seniors say they’ve had more than 10 drinks in a row\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>Studies of adolescent binge drinking may underestimate its impacts, the report warns, because the cutoff of five or more drinks in two hours is based on adult males.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Uniquely vulnerable\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Binge drinking is particularly risky for teens because they are not little adults, says Siqueira. “Volume for volume, they’re far more likely to get intoxicated than you and I, so it can be very dangerous.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Adolescents undergo many rapid physical and mental changes that make them more open to trying alcohol even as their still-developing bodies and brains are more vulnerable to its effects.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even one binge-drinking episode can result in death, either from alcohol poisoning or injuries sustained while engaging in risky behavior. Alcohol is associated with suicide, homicide and car crashes -- the leading causes of death for teenagers. Nearly a third of fatal auto accidents among 15- to 20-year-olds involve alcohol.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Teen binge drinkers are also more likely to do poorly in school, have sex earlier, acquire sexually transmitted diseases from unprotected sex and fall prey to sexual violence during a drinking episode.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Heavy drinking poses long-term risks, too. Alcohol exposure during adolescence, when connections between different brain regions are still forming, can lead to chronic problems with learning and memory and may increase susceptibility to addiction: kids who start drinking before age 15 are four times as likely to become alcohol dependent than those who start after age 20. Young binge drinkers are also at risk for developing multiple chronic conditions later in life, including cancer and liver disease.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For children with chronic medical conditions, alcohol can make them prone to skipping their medications, according to a new study, also published Monday in Pediatrics. More than a third of high school students with diabetes, asthma or other chronic conditions use alcohol, the study found, and are less likely to take their medicine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Report Recommends New Tool for Doctors\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Impulsive people who like to chase thrills are at high risk for substance abuse. But for kids, these traits may have more to do with an immature brain than a reckless nature. Younger kids and late bloomers may be more likely to try alcohol without considering the consequences.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yet doctors often mistakenly assume kids aren’t using alcohol, says Siqueira. That’s why the report recommends making a \u003ca href=\"http://pubs.niaaa.nih.gov/publications/Practitioner/YouthGuide/YouthGuide.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">tool designed to spot alcohol\u003c/a> use in kids part of routine checkups.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Giving health care providers specific questions to ask kids about how much they’re drinking, who they’re drinking with and when they’re drinking is particularly helpful, says Halpern-Felsher. Doctors can use that information to provide referrals, treatment and especially positive feedback, she says. “You want to say, ‘I’m glad you’re not drinking.

Teen binge drinking rates are so high, and the consequences so serious, that the American Academy of Pediatrics has issued a new report to help physicians spot and care for young drinkers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To increase the chances of identifying at-risk youth, says Siqueira, the report’s lead author, doctors should screen every child in their practice for alcohol use, starting at age nine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>A troubling trend\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most young people in the United States do not drink alcohol, but those who do are more likely than adults to drink heavily.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many of the defining traits of adolescence –- a strong desire to fit in with peers, seek novel experiences and test limits –- make this tumultuous passage a prime time for flirting with substance use. And for most teens, alcohol is the substance of choice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>People dealing with increased stress are at higher risk for using drugs or alcohol as a coping mechanism, says Bonnie Halpern-Felsher, director of research in the division of adolescent medicine at Stanford University. “Going back to school, especially for those taking difficult classes or thinking about college, can enhance stress.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The AAP report was published Monday in the journal Pediatrics. It draws on several national studies of youth drinking behavior which show that binge drinking rates increase with age and rise sharply in high school:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>21 percent of kids admit to having tried alcohol before 8th grade\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>79 percent of kids admit to having tried alcohol by 12th \u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.5\">grade\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>14.2 percent of 12- to 20-year-olds say they engaged in binge drinking in 2013\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>36 to 50 percent of high school students drink alcohol; 28 to 60 percent of them admit to binge drinking and nearly two-thirds have done so more than once in a month\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>10 percent of high school seniors say they’ve had more than 10 drinks in a row\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>Studies of adolescent binge drinking may underestimate its impacts, the report warns, because the cutoff of five or more drinks in two hours is based on adult males.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Uniquely vulnerable\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Binge drinking is particularly risky for teens because they are not little adults, says Siqueira. “Volume for volume, they’re far more likely to get intoxicated than you and I, so it can be very dangerous.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Adolescents undergo many rapid physical and mental changes that make them more open to trying alcohol even as their still-developing bodies and brains are more vulnerable to its effects.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even one binge-drinking episode can result in death, either from alcohol poisoning or injuries sustained while engaging in risky behavior. Alcohol is associated with suicide, homicide and car crashes -- the leading causes of death for teenagers. Nearly a third of fatal auto accidents among 15- to 20-year-olds involve alcohol.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Teen binge drinkers are also more likely to do poorly in school, have sex earlier, acquire sexually transmitted diseases from unprotected sex and fall prey to sexual violence during a drinking episode.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Heavy drinking poses long-term risks, too. Alcohol exposure during adolescence, when connections between different brain regions are still forming, can lead to chronic problems with learning and memory and may increase susceptibility to addiction: kids who start drinking before age 15 are four times as likely to become alcohol dependent than those who start after age 20. Young binge drinkers are also at risk for developing multiple chronic conditions later in life, including cancer and liver disease.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For children with chronic medical conditions, alcohol can make them prone to skipping their medications, according to a new study, also published Monday in Pediatrics. More than a third of high school students with diabetes, asthma or other chronic conditions use alcohol, the study found, and are less likely to take their medicine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Report Recommends New Tool for Doctors\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Impulsive people who like to chase thrills are at high risk for substance abuse. But for kids, these traits may have more to do with an immature brain than a reckless nature. Younger kids and late bloomers may be more likely to try alcohol without considering the consequences.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yet doctors often mistakenly assume kids aren’t using alcohol, says Siqueira. That’s why the report recommends making a \u003ca href=\"http://pubs.niaaa.nih.gov/publications/Practitioner/YouthGuide/YouthGuide.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">tool designed to spot alcohol\u003c/a> use in kids part of routine checkups.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Giving health care providers specific questions to ask kids about how much they’re drinking, who they’re drinking with and when they’re drinking is particularly helpful, says Halpern-Felsher. Doctors can use that information to provide referrals, treatment and especially positive feedback, she says. “You want to say, ‘I’m glad you’re not drinking.
