Background: Alcoholism is a global issue that not only negatively impacts the drinker, but also their family, particularly their children. It has been observed that adolescent children of alcoholic parents experience various psychosocial problems. However, there is a lack of studies focusing on the relationship between parental alcoholism and mental health issues among adolescents in Peru. Objective: This research aims to estimate the strength of association between harmful or dependent alcohol use in parents and mental health problems in their adolescent children in cities in the Peruvian highlands from 2010 to 2018. Materials and Methods: This is an analytical study with a cross-sectional design using secondary data from mental health epidemiological studies conducted by INSM "HD-HN" in cities in the Peruvian highlands. Results: A statistically significant association was found between parental alcoholism and the consumption of legal substances, tobacco and alcohol, the presence of at least 2 criteria for alcohol abuse, and the presence of psychopathic behaviors and suicidal indicators in adolescent children. Conclusion: It is confirmed that the presence of alcohol abuse/dependence in parents is significantly associated with the consumption of legal substances, tobacco, alcohol and the presence of suicidal indicators, psychopathic behaviors and at least 2 criteria of alcohol abuse in adolescent children from 11 cities in the Peruvian highlands.
