Notes: Means/proportions are weighted using the Add Health Waves I to IV sample weights and are averaged across 20 complete data sets. Adolescent drinking ranges from 0 = never to 6 = nearly every day. Parental drinking ranges from 1 = never to 6 = nearly every day. Parent education ranges from 0 = less than 8th grade to 9 = some education beyond a four-year degree. Living environment ranges from 2 to 8 and is coded such that higher values indicate a better environment. Adolescent college aspirations range from 1 = low to 5 = high.
