Background:
This study examined parenting practices, parental stress, and problem behaviors among urban Children of Substance Abusing Parents.
Method:
One hundred and seven children completed the Child Rating Scale and the Children's Depression Inventory. Parents completed the Parenting Practices Scale-Parent Version, Parenting Stress Index, and internalizing and externalizing scales on the Parent Observation of Classroom Adaptation.
Results:
Structural Equation Modeling findings support an indirect effects pathway in which unfavorable parenting practices predict parental stress and parental stress predicts internalizing and externalizing behaviors.
Conclusion:
The results argue for assessing parental stress and including activities to improve the parent-child bond in family intervention programs.
