Multivariate comparison of adolescent offspring of substance abuse parents: community and treatment samples.
Adolescent offspring of substance abuse parents (SA+) were compared on the scales of the Drug Use Screening Inventory to offspring of control parents (SA-). Neither clinical nor community samples of SA+ subjects were different from controls. These findings indicate that parental substance abuse does not necessarily impart maladjustment to their offspring.
