The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of parental factors on recent alcohol use and frequent episodic heavy drinking among youth within the Greater Cincinnati area. More specifically, this study investigated whether recent alcohol use and episodic heavy drinking among youth differed based on family structure, parent job status and parental educational status. In addition, the study assessed whether the impact of family structure, parental job status and parental education on youth recent alcohol use and episodic heavy drinking differed based on students’ sex and grade level. A total of 54,361 students in 7th through 12th grades in Greater Cincinnati completed surveys. Logistic regression analyses revealed that recent alcohol use and frequent episodic heavy drinking differed significantly based on family structure, parent job status and parent education. Specifically, recent alcohol use and frequent episodic heavy drinking was highest among students who did not live with two biological parents, had fathers who were unemployed and had mothers and fathers with a high school diploma or less. Recommendations for future research and practice are offered.
