Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Adolescents are more likely to use alcohol or drugs when their parents have a lenient attitude and/or use alcohol or drugs themselves. This can result in an increased likelihood that adolescents will model their parents' behaviors and choices.

This kind of parenting is associated with better outcomes for adolescents, including reductions in substance use.
