Understanding Substance Use and Parenting In India: A Narrative Review
Main Article Content
Abstract
Substance abuse remains a pervasive concern globally, impacting individuals, families, and society at large (National Health Survey, 2015). This narrative review dives into the scope of research conducted within the domain of substance abuse and parenting in India. The study's primary objective is to comprehend the existing landscape of research, focusing on the relationship between substance abuse and parenting roles. Recognizing this relationship is crucial for discerning the multitude of challenges faced by both parents and children in such circumstances and formulating effective interventions. The review encompasses various domains, specifically investigating research concerning substance abuse and fatherhood, motherhood, the parent-child relationship , single parenting along with substance abuse and substance abuse and personality traits of parents. Examining Indian studies from the past two decades, 15 studies were identified from databases like PubMed, PubMed Central, National Library of Medicine Catalogue, and ResearchGate published post-2005. Keywords like "Substance Abuse by Fathers in India,” “Substance Abuse by Mothers in India,” “Substance Abuse and Parenting in India,” “Substance Abuse by Single Parents in India,” and “Substance Abuse and Personality of Parents in India” were used. The search strategy involved leveraging Google Scholar to systematically explore these databases and journals using the keywords. Through this exploration, insights into the challenges faced by parents grappling with substance abuse and the ensuing impact on children's well-being will be brought to light, contributing to the development of targeted interventions and support systems tailored to the Indian socio-cultural landscape.
