The role of fathers in adolescent cannabis use disorder: Public perceptions of paternal shame and responsibility
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Background: When youth experience substance use disorders (SUDs), their parents are often faced with stigma and assigned responsibility for their child’s disorder. While existing literature primarily focuses on the experiences of mothers of children with SUDs, fathers are also subject to blame and stigma from family, healthcare professionals, and the public. The present study qualitatively investigated public perceptions of paternal responsibility and shame in the context of an adolescent with cannabis use disorder (CUD). Methods: After reading a vignette about a father and his adolescent child with CUD, 78 Canadian adults answered two open-ended questions which gauged whether participants assigned responsibility and shame to the father. Responses were thematically analyzed using an inductive approach. Results: Five themes were revealed, which covered a range of perceptions and opinions regarding parenting, substance use, adolescent autonomy, paternal responsibility, and shame. Conclusion: These findings underscore the importance of public education on substance use, the hardships that parents of youth with SUDs face, and the need for SUD de-stigmatization.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
