Presentation Abstract
This study will examine the role of parent/child relationships in college student alcohol use in a population of Seventh-day Adventist college students. Secondary analysis of a health-risk behaviors survey collected March 2012 at Andrews University will be analyzed. This will be done using partial correlation, with the effect of age, gender, ethnicity, religious belief and participation as controlling variables. Selection criteria will narrow down the participants to those who self-identify as Seventh-day Adventist, single, age 18-25, and not living at home. It is hypothesized that involvement with parent will have weak, but statistically significant, relationship with less likelihood to consume alcohol in the past week and conflict with parent will have weak, but statistically significant, relationship with more likelihood to consume alcohol in the past week. Initial data analysis has confirmed the hypothesis. Involvement and conflict with mother had a stronger relationship with alcohol use than with father. It is hypothesized the relationship will be stronger for females and those who are younger.
