disorder; the physical and developmental health of
children living with family pets; and the mental health and well - being of seniors living alone.
This differs from previous studies that use this cohort, where exposure in pregnancy had a significantly greater effect
on other types of adverse
child outcomes.23 28 These findings may indicate that the relationship between school attendance and maternal alcohol use
disorders is not primarily driven by the neurobehavioural effects of alcohol during pregnancy, but rather a complex family and social environment in which school attendance is not a priority or not well monitored.

The primary objective of our review is to systematically review and meta - analyse evidence to determine if parent skills training programmes for parents who have a
child with a developmental
disorder produce greater benefits than no treatment or standard care
on child functioning and
on parental or family functioning, as measured across multiple domains, and to use meta - analytic techniques to determine which programme components are most reliably associated with the most successful
outcomes of parent skills training programmes.

on behavioural inhibition.
Group parenting programmes have been shown to have a positive impact
on the mental health of
children and parents in the short term.9 — 12 Positive results have been obtained from randomised controlled trials and other studies with parents of
children with clinically defined behaviour
disorders, 9,13,14
children at high risk of behaviour problems, 9,15 and to a lesser extent with normal populations.16, 17 They have also been obtained in trials of interventions for parents and
children of different ages.18, 19 The number of trials carried out in the UK is small.13, 15,20,21 A recent systematic review concluded that these programmes are effective in the long term, 12 but most of the trials
on which this review was based used a waiting list control design, and as a result
outcome data are not reported
on the control groups beyond 6 months.
The influence of comorbidity

disorders.
We examine intervention
outcomes on children's anticipation of and response to a social challenge, as well as diurnal patterns, because considerable evidence suggests that abnormal HPA activity in
children with or at risk for conduct
disorders may be context specific.7, 9,11,13,28
On social - emotional measures, foster
children in the NSCAW study tended to have more compromised functioning than would be expected from a high - risk sample.43 Moreover, as indicated in the previous section, research suggests that foster
children are more likely than nonfoster care
children to have insecure or
disordered attachments, and the adverse long - term
outcomes associated with such attachments.44 Many studies of foster
children postulate that a majority have mental health difficulties.45 They have higher rates of depression, poorer social skills, lower adaptive functioning, and more externalizing behavioral problems, such as aggression and impulsivity.46 Additionally, research has documented high levels of mental health service utilization among foster
children47 due to both greater mental health needs and greater access to services.
Research
on maternal
disordered eating and feeding responsiveness provides an avenue for examining how a behaviorally defined example of maternal energy - intake dysregulation is related to
child outcomes.
Limitations include that the sample lacked diversity and therefore may not be representative of the broader population of
children with mood

on parent - reported
outcome measures.

children living in traditional families, research
on childhood mental
disorders is scarce.
Nevertheless a recent study (Gatta et al., 2016b), aiming to examine the usefulness of the LTP as an
outcome measure, found that the LTP assessment of the family interactions might help clinicians to focus
on the dysfunctional familial dynamics, thus improving the effectiveness of a video - feedback intervention with the families of
children and adolescents with psychiatric
disorders (i.e., significantly reducing internalizing symptoms).

Conversely, other studies have failed to find significant main or moderating effects for perceived or received social support

About 5 % of all
children in the Western world fulfill diagnostic criteria for attention deficit — hyperactivity
disorder (ADHD), 1 and a large proportion of such
children are treated pharmacologically.2 ADHD has been associated with criminality3, 4 and externalizing
disorders.5 Beneficial short - term effects of ADHD medication
on symptoms of ADHD and associated conduct problems have been shown in numerous randomized, controlled studies involving
children6 - 8 and adults.9 - 11 ADHD symptoms are largely persistent from childhood into adulthood, 12 but one prominent feature of ADHD treatment is that the discontinuation of medication is common, 13,14 especially in adolescence and early adulthood.15 The importance of treatment discontinuation for criminality and other longer - term
outcomes is largely unknown.
