TRUJILLO, Ángela M  and  FLOREZ, Ivonne A. Alcohol Consumption in Adolescents from Chía and Their Perception of Parental Consumption and Permissiveness with respect to Substance Use. Rev. colomb. psicol. [online]. 2013, vol.22, n.1, pp.41-57. ISSN 0121-5469.

The objective of this study was to identify the associations between adolescents´ alcohol consumption and their perceptions about parental substance use and parental permissiveness regarding alcohol use in a group of youngsters from Chía (Colombia). Variables of interest were measured through a correlational study, on the basis of a survey designed by the authors and applied to a sample of 326 adolescents. The results showed a significant and positive association between frequent alcohol use by adolescents and parental perception of consumption and permissiveness. The discussion highlights the importance of developing preventive programs that take into account the permissive parental stance toward adolescents' alcohol consumption.
