Sažetak
This article aims to systematically explore (1) the prevalence of children growing up in families where parents have an alcohol use disorder, (2) how the development of these children may be affected, and (3) which factors can protect children growing up in such an environment from negative developmental outcomes. Research has revealed that the prevalence of children growing up with a parent with an alcohol use disorder is high. The consequences are visible in almost all areas of a child's life: from mental health problems, academic failure, various risk behaviours, and the development of behavioural disorders. The article also reviews the research that has looked at identifying factors that can reduce the development of negative developmental outcomes in children and shows that these factors are present both at the individual level and in the environment in which the child grows up (family, school, wider community). The article also addresses the challenges of researching this phenomenon and possible preventive interventions.
