Children of alcoholics and other drug abusers are at elevated risk for substance abuse and other related psychosocial problems. Adolescents with a positive family history for drug abuse or alcoholism were compared to a similar group of low-SES, urban youth who were at risk for school failure but did not report any family history of substance abuse. A survey of depression, self-esteem, behavioral competence and dysfunction, and drug/alcohol use found that, overall, adolescents with a positive family history (FHP) for substance abuse exhibited more use of illicit drugs compared to those with a negative family history (FHN). There were also a greater number of FHP cases which fell into the clinical range on the psychosocial measures of behavioral dysfunction and depression compared to FHN youth. There were differential effects for boys versus girls, with FHP girls exhibiting a greater number of problem cases. Implications for substance abuse prevention with urban youth are discussed.
