Objective.-We examined the relationship between family functioning, marital conflict and drug use by children. Method.- A cross-over design was used in interviewing a sample of 130 young people (72 girls and 57 boys, ranging from 13 to 17 years of age) and their respective mothers. The battery of questionnaires, used to evaluate the variables of interest, comprised: Substance Use (SU), the Children’s Perception of Interparental Conflict Scale (CPIC), the Children’s Report on Parent Behaviour Inventory (CRPBI), the Family Adaptability and Cohesion Evaluation Scale (FACES), Marital Satisfaction Index (MSI), and the Marital Stability Scale (MSS). The children answered the first four (SU, CPIC, CRPBI and FACES), and their mothers the last three (FACES, MSI and MSS). Logistic regression models were used to analyse the relationship between different variables, taking the child being a substance user or non-user as the dependent variable. Results.- Four dimensions of marital conflict (frequency: OR=1.30; intensity: OR=1.56; uncertainty: OR=1.32; and content: OR=1.33), seven of the eight CRPBI dimensions and the family cohesion perceived by children (OR=0,51) were statistically significant (pReferences
