In order to understand alcohol and other drugs abusive consumption during adolescence, several researches have pointed out the family as an important risk or protection factor. This study aims to accomplish a systematic review of scientific papers regarding the association between parental styles and socialization practices and psychoactive substances consumption among adolescents. The articles were researched in three databases - Medline, Adolec and Pubmed -, using two terms in order to restrict the bibliographic search: parental styles and parental monitoring together with substance use. The final sample was constituted of 30 papers from different countries. We could verify a significant association between alcohol and other drugs abusive consumption in adolescence and parental styles and practices. Such findings demonstrate the importance of getting to know this relationship in the Brazilian context.
