Parental Influences on Adolescent Marijuana Use and the Baby Boom Generation: Findings for the 1979-1996 National Household Surveys on Drug Abuse.

摘要

This report had two major aims: (1) A major aim was to test the hypothesis that the increase in marijuana use by recent generations of young people was due to the fact that their parents were members of the baby boom generation. These parents belonged to cohorts who became heavily involved in using marijuana, and who, because of their adolescent experience, may have unintentionally facilitated the use of marijuana by their children. (2) A second aim was to assess the extent of parental influence on children's marijuana use, irrespective of membership in the baby boom cohorts.
