Results: Fifty percent of adolescents reported alcohol use and 36% reported bingeing at wave 5 (mean age 16.9 years), and the mean age of initiation to alcohol use for drinkers was 15.1 years. Age of initiation was significantly associated with binge drinking and total quantity of alcohol consumed in unadjusted and adjusted models. Age of first drunkenness was associated with total quantity of alcohol consumed in unadjusted models but not adjusted models and was not associated with subsequent bingeing. Conclusions: Initiating alcohol use earlier in adolescence is associated with an increased risk of binge drinking and higher quantity of consumption in late secondary school, supporting an argument for delaying alcohol initiation for as long as possible to reduce the risk for problematic use in later adolescence and the alcohol-related harms that may accompany this use.]]> Thu 24 Aug 2023 09:26:02 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:47847 Thu 02 Feb 2023 16:26:00 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:24608 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:11:55 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:46245 Mon 14 Nov 2022 13:21:59 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:39579 Mon 08 Aug 2022 11:35:05 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:48638 4 standard drinks), and alcohol-related harms. Results: At mean age of 12.9 years about one in ten children report parental supply of alcohol which increases to about four in ten children by 17.8 years. Mothers consistently more often supply their daughters with alcohol than their sons, [Wave 5 OR 1.77 (1.53,2.05)], while mothers less often supply sons than their daughters, [Wave 5 OR 0.82 (0.71,0.95)]. Mothers’ supply of alcohol to daughters predicts substantially increased odds of daughters binge drinking, [OR 1.67 (1.10,2.53)] and experiencing alcohol related harms, [OR 1.65 (1.10,2.48)]. Conclusion: There is a need to involve both mothers and fathers and to equally target female and male children in programs to reduce the harmful consequences of parental supply of alcohol to their children.]]> Fri 24 Mar 2023 13:23:51 AEDT ]]>
