Sažetak
Alcohol consumption in adolescents is a risk factor for several short- and long-term consequences. The impact of the family on starting with alcohol consumption and on frequent and excessive drinking is indisputable, which is explained through a series of risk and protective factors of the family environment. Awareness of these factors helps in designing effective prevention programs for reducing the prevalence of alcohol consumption among children and young people. During the school year 2019/20, a study was conducted on a stratified sample. The study included 1409 students (48.3% boys and 51.7% girls) aged 13 to 19 (M=15.84, sd=1.46) from 16 primary (eighth grade) and 20 secondary schools (all four grades) from the Split-Dalmatia County. The aim was to determine the relationship between adolescents’ alcohol consumption and their perception of parental monitoring, expected parental reactions to intoxication, and satisfaction with relations with parents, but also to provide an insight into current alcohol consumption habits among adolescents in the Split-Dalmatia County. The results show differences in alcohol consumption habits with respect to gender and school grade. Compared to students who drink less, the perception of students who are more prone to alcohol consumption is that their parents are both less likely to have rules of conduct outside home, and are often unaware of where and who their children socialize with. In addition, their expected parental reactions to drinking are milder. A correlation between alcohol consumption and satisfaction with parent-child relations was not established. Gender, age, school, perceived monitoring, and perceived parental reactions predict 33.7% of variability of alcohol consumption ever in life and 22.3% variability of alcohol consumption in previous month. Age, gender, perceived monitoring, perceived parental reactions to intoxication and frequency alcohol consumption in previous month together predict 40.3% of variability of frequency of intoxication ever in life, and 24.3% variability of frequency of intoxication in previous month.
