A substantial body of research indicates that regardless of race and age, female offenders have higher
rates of mental health problems, both internalizing and externalizing, than male offenders.19
In a study of serious «deep - end» offenders, females exhibited both more externalizing problems and more internalizing problems than males.20 Moreover, a recent study using common measures and a demographically matched
sample of
community and detained youth found that gender differences were greater among detained youth than among
community youth, with detained girls having more symptoms of mental illness than would be predicted on the basis of gender or setting alone.21
Thus, to help demonstrate that the findings are valid, the study authors —
in addition to estimating PROSPER's effects for the final
sample of 28
communities — conducted a second analysis that omitted the two replacement
communities in the PROSPER group along with the two control
communities with the highest overall
rates of substance use at 6.5 - year follow - up, so as to provide a conservative (lower - bound) estimate of PROSPER's effects.

Recently Copeland et al, 15 using two
community samples, suggested that DMDD was relatively rare, ranging from 0.8 % to 3.3 %, with higher
rates in preschool age and
in boys.
Validation for preschool MDD (based on meeting all DSM - IV symptom criteria) has been supported by the finding of a specific symptom constellation that was distinct from other psychiatric disorders and stable during a 6 - month period.22 Additionally, alterations
in the hypothalamic - pituitary - adrenal axis reactivity similar to those known
in adults with depression, greater family history of mood disorders, as well as observational evidence of depressive affects and behaviors were detected
in preschoolers with depression, providing further validation.22,25,27 - 30 More recent findings from a larger independent
sample (N = 306) ascertained from
community sites (and serving as the population for this investigation) have replicated the findings described above and have also demonstrated that preschoolers with depression display significant functional impairment evident
in multiple contexts
rated by both parents and teachers.24
Research investigating the influence of cross-partner effects of self -
rated health on depressive symptoms finds that they are significant
in clinical
samples (Coyne et al., 1987; Fultz et al., 2005) and
in general
community samples (Galbaud du Fort, Kovess, & Bouvin, 1994; McLeod, 1993).
Specifically, the mean prevalence
rates of ADHD were higher
in community samples (10.3 % for
community samples vs 6.9 % for school
samples), higher among males (9.2 % for males vs 3.0 % for females), and higher among children who were diagnosed according toDSM - III - R criteria (10.3 % for DSM - III - R vs 6.8 % for DSM - III criteria).

While most results
in this study pointed
in the direction of more unfavourable developmental outcomes for children of PPD mothers, one result contradicted this pattern: daughters of mothers who had PPD were
rated as less externalizing by their mothers than their counterparts

Another significant difference between the two
samples was a stronger negative correlation between school adjustment and teacher -

in the PPD
sample (r = − 0.71, p <.01) as compared to the
community sample (r = − 0.35, p <.01).
One unexpected outcome was found among the daughters of PPD mothers, namely less mother -

in the
community sample.

In the current study with a sample of chronically depressed men and women, rates of physical and psychological victimization were similar to rates reported in a number of general community samples during a similar time period (Jose and O'Leary 2009; Schafer et al. 1998) and to rates reported with a sample of unipolar and bipolar depressed patients (Dienemann et al. 2000

This mother — teacher discrepancy was not seen for sons of PPD mothers, nor for boys or girls
in the
community sample, which may support the effect of social desirability when PPD mothers
rated the externalizing behaviour of their daughters.
Although several differences were found between the children
in the PPD

Stein and colleagues made standardised
ratings of the quality of mother - infant interactions
in free and structured play
in the home
in a
community sample of mothers who had had a postnatal depression and their 19 months old infants, together with well controls.4 Compared with the latter group, the children of the index mothers showed less affective sharing, a lower
rate of overall interactive behaviour, less concentration, and more negative responses.
The present study reports on exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses of disruptive girl behavior over four successive data waves as
rated by parents and teachers
in a large, representative
community sample of girls (N = 2,451).
Scores ≥ 10 and > 12 indicate probable depression
in community and clinical
samples, respectively.12, 13 Mothers
rated their stress levels (1 = «no problems or stresses» to 5 = «many problems and stressful») and coping (1 = «extremely well» to 5 = «not at all») on global 5 - point scales.14 Two additional questions assessed limits on daily functioning as a result of maternal emotional or physical health problems (adapted from a generic health measure, the SF6).
