TY - JOUR PY - 1984// TI - Family structure, race, and adolescents' alcohol use: a research note JO - American journal of drug and alcohol abuse encompassing all addictive disorders A1 - Byram, O. W. A1 - Fly, J. W. SP - 467 EP - 478 VL - 10 IS - 3 N2 - Family structure is related to adolescents' drinking behavior differently for Blacks than Whites. Black adolescents were more likely to be heavy alcohol users when both natural parents were present, but the opposite was true for the whites. Only when non-White adolescents were in families with both parents, and the father had at least a high school education, did they drink near the rate of White adolescents. There was support of social learning theory.
