Résumé :
The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between the psychosocial adjustment of children living in households of parents (N=112) in which fathers were entering treatment for substance abuse andthe following sets ofvariables : (a) parents'sociodemographic characteristics, (b) parents' dyadic adjustment, (c) fathers' substance use severity, and (d) parents' psychological adjustment. Mothers did not meet current criteria for a psychoactive substance use disorder on alcohol or other drugs; moreover, based on reports by parents, none of the children was not exposed prenatally to illicit drugs. Results of hierarchical-by-blocks regression analyses revealed that each of the variable sets made a significant unique contribution to the prediction of children's psychosocial adjustment. Furthermore, the following variables within the sets were also found to be significant: (a) parents' age, (b) weekly family income, (c) frequency of male-to-female physical aggression between the parents, (d) frequency of fathers' substance use during the previous year, (e) diagnosis of antisocial personality disorder of fathers, and (f) mothers' level of psychological distress.
