Ever since professionals first became aware of the impact of parental alcoholism on children, there has been a growing library of research-based information about children and adults whose parents abuse alcohol or other drugs - from school performance to health care needs, from treatment options to risk for future problems.  But unless you are a research librarian specializing in this field, it can be hard to stay on top of the latest data.

However, while many questions have been answered, some still remain.

Among the most common questions received by the Children of Alcoholics Foundation are:

• Parental alcohol v. other substance abuse - is there a difference?

• Where can I find the research on parental substance abuse

• How many children of alcoholics are there?
