Are Boys More Vulnerable than Girls in Alcoholic Families?

Mutzell, Sture

Early Child Development and Care, v105 p43-58 1995

A 15-year study examined the lives of male alcoholic inpatients and their children. Found differences in social adjustment and health status between the children of alcoholics and the control children. These children also required greater social assistance, particularly those in homes where alcohol and drug use combined. Boys were more vulnerable than girls in alcoholic homes. (HTH)
