Chapter one of this research study introduced and provided an overview of parents’ perception of adolescents’ attitudes toward substance use by varying ethnic backgrounds. This included discussing various aspects of parents’ perception which included demographics, substance use, self-esteem, drug modeling and positive peer drug modeling and the identification for the specific framing, design and method of conducting this research study. The problem statement, background, purpose, nature of the study, hypothesis and research questions all provided important context for the purpose of the research. Some of the benefits as well as challenges experienced by parents/guardians regarding adolescent’s attitudes toward substance use were also discussed. Chapter two focused on the literature review and material of the research inquiry. The chapter gave a brief review of parent’s perception of adolescent’s substance use. According to The Project Cork (nod.), parents and teens often see the same things differently. Parents were more likely to attribute drug use to factor with negative connotation (such as boredom, rebellion, loneliness or social pressure). Their children were more likely to mention things with more positive connotation (such as curiosity, fun, insight or experience). Research suggests that many parents may underestimate their importance as parent in terms of influence on their adolescents’ attitude of substance use. Parents/guardian attitude an acceptance of adolescent’s substance use may range from denial and lack of knowledge and awareness of teen’s substance use (Graves, 2005).
