Several researchers had called for a thorough study of the relationship between parenting variables and adolescent substance abuse and related problem behavior (Schmidt, Liddle, and Dakof, 1996; Steinberg, Lamborn, Darling, Mounts, and Dornbusch, 1994; Weinberg et al., 1998). A review of the relevant literature suggested parental Limit-setting and Monitoring skills are critical parenting factors (Baumrind, 1991; Baumrind and Moselle, 1985; Forehand and Kotchixk, 1996; Liddle et al., 1998; Patterson et al, 1992; Schmidt, Liddle, and Dakof, 1996; Scholte, 1999). A measure of Parental Limit-setting and Monitoring Skills (PLMS) was developed in order to examine these factors, and compare them with other parenting communication factors to adolescent substance abuse and related problem behavior. The instrument contained two subscales: "Monitoring" and "Limit-setting". It was first hypothesized that parents who scored higher on the PLMS would report fewer adolescent behavior problems, and second that this relationship would explain more of the variance in adolescent substance abuse and related problem behavior than Parent-Adolescent Communication factors. Prior research had reported a higher incidence of substance abuse among Euro-American adolescents than adolescents from other racial groupings, and thirdly it was hypothesized this finding would be replicated. Sixty-nine parents of adolescents participated in this study from high school parent groups meeting in the Los Angeles Unified Public School District. The first hypothesis was supported as results demonstrated a significant negative correlation between both subscales and adolescent problem behavior, but only "monitoring" accounted for a significant amount of the variance. Though Parent-Adolescent Communication factors and Parental Limit-setting and Monitoring account for significant unique variance in adolescent problem behavior, Open Family Communication accounted for the greater portion of the variance, and therefore the second hypothesis was not supported. No differences were found between participants based on self-identified race, and therefore the third hypothesis was not supported. Directions for further research and contributions to the literature are explored.
