Abstract
The purpose of this study was to determine how parents influence their children's drug attitudes and behaviors. In addition to identifying specific drug practices and demographic variables, parents responded to a modified version of Shoben's Parent Attitude Survey. The PAS measures the level of parental dominance, possessiveness, and disregard for the child. Moderately dominant parents were found to have children with more healthful attitudes towards drugs and lower patterns of drug use than parents who had low scores on this subscale.
