Description
Introduction Two major issues frame youth risk behaviors. First, the actual risk behaviors performed by the youth commonly identified through youth risk behaviors surveys and second, attitudes and perceptions of parents regarding youth behavior that can predispose, enable, or reinforce children's risk behaviors. Parental attitudes, particularly attitudes of tolerance, are a major factor in a child's tendency to use drugs (Parenting is Prevention, 1998). Parental attitudes are formed by perceptions of what is or should be considered "normal youth behavior." Parents have their own perceptions of what is "normal youth behavior" for example, parents who perceive youth alcohol consumption as common and not problematic, are more likely to be tolerant of such behavior.
