This paper explores Australian parents\u2019 perceptions of their children\u2019s awareness of alcohol use and their reflections on the impact of COVID-19 on children\u2019s exposure and acquisition of alcohol-related knowledge.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Methods: <\/strong>In-depth interviews were undertaken with 30 parents and carers of children aged four to 12\u2009years from across Australia. Participants described their family lives, the role of alcohol, any changes in alcohol and family dynamics experienced because of COVID-19 and their children\u2019s exposure and knowledge of alcohol before and during their experience of COVID-19. Using social learning theory as a guiding framework, transcripts were analysed to identify relevant themes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Results: <\/strong>Pre-COVID-19 children were commonly thought to be aware of behavioural changes owing to alcohol consumption, made associations between people, beverages and activities and recognised boundaries around consumption. COVID-19 was suggested to have impacted the environments in which children were exposed and the types of modelling and practices they were exposed to. It was more common for participants to describe COVID-19 affecting other children\u2019s learning and knowledge of alcohol, rather than their own.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Discussion and Conclusions: <\/strong>Participants were mindful of children\u2019s knowledge and the role they played in modelling consumption practices prior to and during the COVID-19 lockdowns. There may be scope to use the insights provided here to support parents in modelling approaches and engaging with children about alcohol in ways that challenge or disrupt its prominence or acceptability.<\/p>\n<p>(Taken from : <a href=\"https:\/\/movendi.ngo\/science-digest\/australian-parents-perceptions-of-their-childrens-awareness-of-alcohol-use-during-covid-19\/\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/movendi.ngo\/science-digest\/australian-parents-perceptions-of-their-childrens-awareness-of-alcohol-use-during-covid-19\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/movendi.ngo\/science-digest\/australian-parents-perceptions-of-their-childrens-awareness-of-alcohol-use-during-covid-19\/<\/a> )<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>November 10, 2021&nbsp; Participants were mindful of children\u2019s knowledge and the role they played in modelling consumption practices prior to and during the COVID-19 lockdowns.
