The current study tested the model proposed by Campbell and Oei (2010), and assessed the separate components of the model to best explain the intergenerational transference of alcohol use behaviour. Results revealed an adequate fit of all three models with significant differences between the Cognitive and Behavioral Models, and the Full Cognitive Model. Results suggest that cognitions are not a direct means by which parental drinking behaviour is transferred to their offspring however the parental behaviour impacted on their children's behaviour via their alcohol cognitions.
