Alcohol-related cognitions that develop during childhood, including expectancies and intentions, predict later likelihood of alcohol use initiation (Andrews et al. 2008; Cranford et al. 2010). In this study, we test a novel parenting program designed to enable parents to instill protective alcohol-related cognitions among children. Specifically, we test whether the parenting program reduces children’s cognitive susceptibility to alcohol use and we examine hypothesized moderators and
mediators of any observed program effect on child susceptibility.
