Abstract
in English, Portuguese

Objective: To analyze the relationship and effect of alcohol use on Child-to-Parent Violence (CPV).

Method: Cross-sectional, observational study with a quantitative approach, carried out through online data collection using the Conflict Tactics Scale (CTS2) and the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT) in 318 high school adolescents from southern Mexico.

Results: Moderate and significant relationships were found between alcohol use and verbal (rs = 0.408, p = 0.001) and economic violence against the mother (rs = 0.445, p = 0.001). A similar situation is presented in physical (rs = 0.473, p = 0.001), verbal (rs = 0.236, p = 0.001) and economic (rs = 0.477, p = 0.001) violence directed to the father.

Conclusion: The relation among the variables was supported by Multiple Linear Regression models, with alcohol consumption in adolescents being a predictor of violence against mothers and fathers.

Objetivo:: Analisar a relação e o efeito do uso de álcool na Violência Filioparental (VFP).

Método:: Estudo observacional transversal com abordagem quantitativa, realizado por meio de coleta de dados online usando a Escala Tática de Conflito (CTS2) e o Teste de Identificação de Transtornos por Uso de Álcool (AUDIT) em 318 adolescentes do ensino médio do sul do México.

Resultados:: Foram encontradas relações moderadas e significativas entre uso de álcool e violência verbal (rs = 0,408, p = 0,001) e econômica cometida em relação à mãe (rs = 0,445, p = 0,001). Uma situação semelhante é apresentada na violência física (rs = 0,473, p = 0,001), verbal (rs = 0,236, p = 0,001) e econômica (rs = 0,477, p = 0,001) direcionada ao pai.

Conclusão:: A relação entre as variáveis foi apoiada por modelos de Regressão Linear Múltipla, sendo o consumo de álcool em adolescentes um preditor de violência contra mães e pais.
