This study sought to (a) determine the proportion of children of alcoholics (COAs) among an African American adolescent population aged 12 to 19 (N = 649); and (b) examine the influence of and relationship between COA status, self-esteem, age, and gender on their involvement in alcohol drinking.

description This study sought to (a) determine the proportion of children of alcoholics (COAs) among an African American adolescent population aged 12 to 19 (N = 649); and (b) examine the influence of and relationship between COA status, self-esteem, age, and gender on their involvement in alcohol drinking. Although 52% identified themselves as alcohol drinkers, an insignificant number of these (4.4%, or 2.3% of the sample) reported abusing alcohol. One in four were COAs; 27% of alcohol users were COAs. Age, low self-esteem, and COA status were found to be strong predictors of alcohol drinking among these youth. The hypothesis that positive self-esteem places African American youth in a position of strength to counter the adverse consequences of parental alcoholism and other debilitating circumstances was confirmed.
