Abstract

Using data from the Prospective study (N=3,527, M=16.10, Females=51%) of the Collaborative Study on the Genetics of Alcoholism, we found that parental bonding during adolescence is associated with later onset of regular drinking and fewer alcohol use disorder symptoms via less positive alcohol expectancies and enhanced neural response inhibition.
