|a Research has demonstrated that parent-adolescent communication is a strong correlate of adolescents’ involvement in risky behaviors. However, a scarcity of literature has examined the predictive utility of discrepant communication between parents and adolescents on alcohol risk behaviors. Even fewer studies have explored these differences in samples of Hispanics of diverse national origin in different regions of the United States. Consequently, the present study assessed the longitudinal relationship between discrepancies in parent-adolescent open and problem communication and involvement in alcohol risk behaviors using data from a multi-site study conducted in Miami and Los Angeles. The sample of the current study consisted of 302 recently immigrated Hispanic adolescents and their parents. Open family communication and problems in family communication were measured using the Parent-Adolescent Communication Scale, and discrepancy scores were computed by subtracting the parent reports from the adolescents. A Zero-Inflated Poisson model was employed to examine the relationship between communication discrepancy scores and adolescents’ involvement in frequency of alcohol use, binge drinking, drunkenness, and unprotected sex. The results revealed that adolescents’ perception of mother-adolescent communication differentially predicted alcohol risk behaviors from their perception of father-adolescent communication. These findings are meaningful for intervention efforts that aim at promoting parent-adolescent communication in recently immigrated Hispanic families. |
