Aims: The main goal of this study was to determine the characteristics of parents who sought
help from two prevention programmes due to having an adolescent child who presents highrisk
behaviours. Methods: The sample was composed of 374 parents (169 fathers and 205
mothers). Information on socio-demographic characteristics, psychopathological symptoms,
emotional states, educational styles and maladjustment to everyday life was collected. Findings:
The results show statistically differences by gender. Mothers obtained a higher degree of
psychopathology symptoms, maladjustment and parental stress relative to fathers. Mothers
also used more frequently authoritative and permissive parenting styles. In general,
authoritarian and permissive parenting styles and stressful perceptions of the parental role
are associated with more psychopathological symptoms and with maladjustment. Finally, the
following variables predicted the severity of psychopathological symptoms: secondary
education, maladjustment, stressful perceptions of the parental role and authoritarian and
permissive parenting styles. Conclusions: This study highlights the need to assess the
psychological problems of parents of adolescents with high-risk behaviours and to develop
specific intervention programmes. [--]
